About this event
Six days of cello preliminaries in which young players from around the world perform full recital programmes before an international jury. Audiences can drop in and out across the day, hearing the same repertoire shaped a dozen different ways. The anniversary edition draws roughly 150 musicians across its violin, cello and piano sections.
Why we picked it
World-class solo cello playing, hours of it, entirely free and with no booking — the competition's best-kept public secret.
Free entry
Free access to all preliminary rounds at the National University of Music, without prior registration.
