Launched by an international team of musicians and arts advocates with a passion for classical music, Classicalia music competition isn't any ordinary classical music competition. We are searching the globe for 13 extraordinary musicians to give them the opportunity of a lifetime: a trip to Vienna to perform with a symphony orchestra in front of a live audience at one of the most stunning concert halls on the planet. Worldwide exposure and promotion. An unparalleled springboard into their future. WHY CLASSICAL MUSICChances are, if you're already reading this, we are "preaching to the choir." We believe that in the darkest of times throughout history, music has brought people together in a way that creates joy, sparks creativity, and restores optimism. Classical music inspires discipline and requires concentration – both as musicians and listeners. We believe in the rewards of long attention spans, the peace and clarity that classical music can bring, and the ability for classical music to unite us worldwide.OUR EXPERT JUDGESA competition is only as good as the expertise and vision of its jury. Classicalia has an incredible roster of performers to evaluate at every stage. The first two Rounds will be judged by a world-class collection of performers and teachers who will find the talent that rises to the top. Each applicant will receive thoughtful and productive written feedback from these adjudicators to help propel their musical education. Rounds 3 and 4 will be judged by the 5 spectacular musicians of our jury. WHY WE WANT TO BROADCAST CLASSICAL MUSICThis competition will be featured on PBS television. It is produced by the team that brought the television programs "A Salute to Vienna" and "Zoltán Mága and David Foster: Live From Budapest" to PBS in the United States and to broadcasters throughout Europe. Television and digital streaming open the doors for international exposure for talented young musicians.
