International Mozart Competition of the Mozarteum University 22.01.2020 Press release Sandra Steindl © Christian Schneider The Mozart Competition of the Mozarteum University Salzburg from February 1 to 15, 2020 is one of the most important international music competitions - for many young musicians it gave and gives a decisive impulse to an international career. Under the artistic direction and jury chairmanship of Benjamin Schmid, Pavel Gililov and Hansjörg Angerer and the overall direction of Hannfried Lucke, it will be held in 2020 in the violin and piano sections and, for the first time, in the horn section. Commissioned by the University Mozarteum Salzburg, Florian Willeitner (violin), Krzysztof Meyer (piano) as well as Michael Kapsner (horn) composed pieces that will be premiered during the 2nd competition rounds. Since its premiere in 1975, the International Mozart Competition of the Mozarteum University Salzburg has been one of the major music competitions worldwide. It takes place in a biennial rhythm - in 2016 the focus was on violin and piano, in 2018 on string quartet and voice. in 2020, in addition to violin and piano, a competition for horn will be held for the first time. "Mozart wrote four important horn concertos, so this year we have also included this instrument," says Hannfried Lucke, Vice Rector for Arts at the University Mozarteum Salzburg. Highly endowed prizes await the first-place winners in all three categories, as well as numerous special prizes - 1st place is awarded 10,000 euros, 2nd place 7000 euros and 3rd place 5000 euros. Of the 182 applicants from 37 countries, 81 participants from 23 countries have been admitted to the 2020 competition - they will each face a top-class jury of seven. "The International Mozart Competition has a long tradition and history and is a flagship for the Mozarteum University and for Salzburg as a location. It has been established over the years in order to make the Mozart genius loci visible to the outside world," explains Hannfried Lucke. "My special thanks go to Benjamin Schmid, Pavel Gililov and Hansjörg Angerer, who have made themselves available as jury chairmen for this most important and largest competition of the University Mozarteum Salzburg." Mozart's works are special touchstones of technical ability and stylistic quality for the young musicians. They are naturally the focus of the Mozart Competition. The commissioned works that the candidates will interpret in the 2nd round were composed by violinist, composer and arranger Florian Willeitner ("To be Mozart or not to be"), by Polish composer, pianist, music theorist and university teacher Krzysztof Meyer ("Bagatelle for piano" ), and by German composer, organist, conductor and music educator Michael Kapsner ("Fa(n)FaRe for horn and piano").
