Tchaikovsky International Competition
Moscow and St Petersburg, Russia
A brief History and Prestige of the Tchaikovsky International
Competition
The International Tchaikovsky Competition, first held more than
50 years ago, is not only a valuable asset of Russian musical
culture but is also one of the major events in the international
music community.
The
International Tchaikovsky Competition is held once every four
years.
View the full conditions for the competition (PDF)
The first, in 1958, included two disciplines - piano and violin.
Beginning with the second competition, in 1962, a cello category
was added, and the vocal division was introduced during the
third competition in 1966. In 1990, a fifth discipline was
announced for the IX International Tchaikovsky Competition - a
contest for violin makers which was held before the main
competition.
An artistic competition is a traditional starting point for
gifted young musicians as it gives them a chance to encounter
the admiration of an audience, be initiated into the worldwide
professional community, and start a brilliant international
career.
In Russia the Competition is considered a landmark of national
musical culture. Each of its editions is one of the key events
in the social and cultural life of the country.
The main purpose of the musical competition - revealing new
talent.
Past editions have spawned such renowned musicians as pianists
Van Cliburn, Vladimir Ashkenazy, Mikhail Pletnev, Grigory
Sokolov;
violinists Viktor Tretiakov, Gidon Kremer, Victoria Mullova;
cellists David Geringas, Nathaniel Rosen, Antonio Meneses and
singers Evgeny Nesterenko, Elena Obraztsova and Deborah Voigt.
The XVI International Tchaikovsky Competition will introduce new
speciality Woodwind instruments. The competition will be held in
Moscow and St. Petersburg in June 2019.
