Markneukirchen - International Instrumental Competition

A prizewinner of the Markneukirchen International Instrumental Competition is planned as the evening's soloist. In the days that follow, guests can look forward to an attractive supporting programme with demonstrations of instrument making, exhibitions of musical instruments, open days and further concerts. The highlight and finale of the competition in 2026 will once again be the prizewinners' concert with the best horn and tuba winners on Saturday 16 May 2026 at 7 p.m. in the Markneukirchen Music Hall. The works of the final rounds (14 May - tuba and 15 May - horn) will also be on the programme of the prizewinners' concert. The accompaniment will be provided by the Clara-Schumann-Philharmoniker Plauen-Zwickau. The other prizewinners will demonstrate their skills once again in the prizewinners' concert with the most outstanding interpretations from their competition programme.
