Behind the scenes of the Queen Elisabeth Competition

Yvan de Launoit and Laetitia Huberti will take you through the history and specificities of one of the most demanding and prestigious international music competition.

Ever since its creation in 1937, the Queen Elisabeth Competition has established itself as a springboard for young violinists, pianists, singers, and cellists on the threshold of an international career.

Held annually in Brussels, the Queen Elisabeth Competition owes its reputation in part to its extremely exacting rules, but also to its juries, made up of prominent personalities from the classical music world.

From the specificity of the confidential deliberation of the jury to the study by the candidates of a newly composed work over a week-long retreat, the Queen Elisabeth Competition is both unique in its operation and in its media coverage.
