Beethoven in his time
International chamber music competition
COMPETITION POSTPONED DUE TO COVID-19We are aware that many higher education institutions in Europe and the USA are closed and will likely remain so for some time to come. Along with various travel restrictions, opportunities for rehearsals, especially with the hammer piano, are limited for many. Every participant deserves fair and equal conditions. We know that the current uncertainty is a burden for your preparation. That is why we decided with our sponsors and partners to postpone the competition. Take care and be safe! NEW SCHEDULE |
