Conferences

In addition to its General Assemblies, EMCY holds regular conferences for its international and national members and on specific topics. Examples include:

EMCY held a highly successful Conference for International Youth Music Competitions 8th – 11th June 2011 in St Petersburg, together with the International Competition for Young Pianists 'A Step Towards Mastery'. This brought together participants from the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Germany, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Russia, Serbia, Switzerland and Ukraine. In the closing session delegates agreed upon a declaration of conclusions which will be put into action in the run up to the next General Assembly 30th March – 2nd April in Ohrid (F.Y.R. Macedonia).

Together with Jeunesses Musicales Spain, EMCY held a conference for national competitions in Barcelona in June 2009. Representatives from EMCY Member Competitions in nine countries came together to exchange ideas and experiences and to learn about recent developments all over Europe. All delegates had the opportunity to present their competition and various exemplary projects were demonstrated and discussed in workshops.
