Zhuhai Mozart Competition stays online

Competitions

Chinese Competition decides to stay with an online format in all categories and age groups

Established in 2015, the Zhuhai Mozart Competition is presented by the University of Mozarteum Salzburg and hosted in three age categories. The Competition not only focuses on young musicians’ virtuosity, but also attaches great importance to their understanding and interpretation of classical music style. The Salzburg Chamber Soloists, globally renowned for their specialization in Mozart’s works, is designated as the orchestra of the Competition.

This year, the competition has been held entirely online, meaning the competitors were not able to play for a live audience at all. While more competitions in the country are beginning to turn to this option, Zhuhai so far is the only one having presented a competition all the way to the end, entirely online.
