Projects

Competitions are a learning experience. Winning a prize should not be the end, but rather the beginning of the next stage of this educational process…

EMCY works to help as many prize winners as possible in their musical and personal development. Performance and training opportunities throughout Europe are arranged by EMCY, together with our member competitions and partners. These concerts, tours, workshops and master classes are international meeting points for young musicians and are for many an important launch pad for their musical careers.

EMCY also holds conferences for competition organisers and music educators on particular themes to enable them to come together, learn from each other and develop new bi- and multilateral cooperation projects.

“The concert had a great value for my musical development, and it was really an honour to be a part of it. It was also a joy to meet the other soloists who also participated at the concert, and it was great to share our common passion for music together. It was truly inspiring to listen to the great soloists and the orchestra, and it was a real motivation boost for me to play at the same concert with those great musicians!”
