Founded in 1939, the Geneva International Music Competition is one of the most important international music competitions. Its aim is to discover, promote and support young talent, giving them the tools they need to develop an international career. For its 77th edition, the Geneva Competition is devoted to the Flute and the String Quartet. The Final is followed by the prize-giving ceremony.
For this Final, the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande has decided to award a prize to one of the three finalists. The musicians of the Orchestra will vote for the flutist of their choice. The soloist who receives the most votes will be awarded the OSR Prize and an engagement as soloist to perform with the Orchestra in a forthcoming concert.
