The International Anton Rubinstein Competition 2021 - WOODWIND

30. & 31. October 2021, Dusseldorf

IMPORTANT INFORMATION:

The International Anton Rubinstein Competitions will take on a new form in the future – based on our experiences during the Covid pandemic. For many international applicants, travelling to Germany is only possible with great difficulty and can hardly be reliably planned. At the same time, we realised that a video competition can also be an attractive offer for participants and audience.

We will conduct all our competitions from September 2021 online via video. The final rounds will be published on YouTube, FaceBook and/or Instagram on the respective dates – and of course the names of the three best instrumentalists, singers or ensembles. Certificates and prizes will be sent to the winners.

The International Anton Rubinstein Woodwind Competition 2021 supports and promotes talented, young musicians, music students, soloists, and prospective orchestral musicians by providing a platform for competition and with its prestigious awards.

The competition is organized by International Music Academy Anton Rubinstein, Flingerstr. 1, 40213 Düsseldorf.
