German music competition

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The German Music Competition ( DMW ) is a competition for soloists, composers and chamber music ensembles that is held annually by the German Music Council .

Since it was founded in 1975, the German Music Competition (DMW) has been the national competition with the broadest range of funding for young professional musicians. It is one of a total of 13 funding projects of the German Music Council and is held annually with changing chamber music and solo categories as well as in the composition category. In the even years (2016, 2018, 2020 etc.) the competition is hosted in Bonn, in the odd years in another city in Germany. The winners of the competition benefit from long-term funding programs from the German Music Council.

procedure

The competition is advertised every year for around 12 solo and chamber music categories as well as composition. Eligible are musicians up to the age of about 30, or composers up to about 35 years, with professional training (music studies), who are Germans within the meaning of the Basic Law. Foreigners can be admitted to the DMW under certain conditions. Interested parties send their registration to the project office in Bonn within the application period.

The competition is held in three ( ensembles ) or four ( soloists ) rounds. The first two rounds are carried out in front of an expert jury, the third and fourth (with orchestra) in front of the approximately 30-strong jury. The competition repertoire is specified in the announcement. Participants who successfully complete the third round are scholarship holders (soloists / chamber music ensembles) or prize winners (chamber music ensembles) of the German Music Competition and can be included in the Federal Selection of Concerts of Young Artists (BAKJK). Soloists will be admitted to the orchestra finale if they have been assessed accordingly Participants who successfully complete the orchestra finals can be awarded the prize of the German Music Competition. Multiple allocation is possible. At the end of each DMW there are two award-winners' concerts: a chamber concert with scholarship holders and award-winning ensembles and a concert with award-winners and orchestra.
