2018 Taiwan 2nd International Classical & Traditional Music Competition for Piano, Vocal and Chinese Flute.
The International Classical and Traditional Music Competition is organised with the aim to provide a platform where musicians and music enthusiasts worldwide can learn, interact and exchange culture. The first competition was held last year in 2017, and had attracted talented musicians from all around the world. Following its success, the organisers this year decided to host again, but focusing on instilling the essence and culture of classical music into the participants. Invitations have been sent far and wide to professionalperformers everywhere. As of this year, the competition’s name has officially changed to “International Classical and Traditional MusicAwards”, and for the first time ever, participants will be divided into two categories: professional and amateur. Therefore, non-professionals will also have the opportunity to showcase their skills. On the other hand, various interactive activities will be held throughout the competition, where all participants can learn and improve themselves in a less competitive atmosphere, while jointly raising the standard of classical music.
Professional musicians from all over the world have been invited to be part of our panel. The best players from different countrieswill gather in Taiwan for the Gold Medalists’ Concert. This year, gold medals, silver prizes, bronze prizes and consolation prizes will be awarded for professional and amateur groups. The “Distinction Gold Jury Award” will also be awarded at the Gold Medalists’ Concert inthe professional group. Many more awards will be presented during the competition, including “Fuyou Palace Committee Prize” and“Audience Voted Best Singer Award” for popular singing category, “The Hong Kong Smart Symposium Special Award” and etc.
We strongly believe that under our competent committee, this tournament will accomplish the mission of carrying forward heritage and stimulating the exchange of culture through music. This event also hopes to allow musicians from all over the world to create bondsas they contribute to the world’s musical culture.
