Music Through The Centuries Competition and Festival

Welcome to the Music Through The Centuries Competition and Festival, an international platform dedicated to celebrating the rich history and evolution of music by inspiring and recognizing young musicians from around the world. Since our inception in 2020, we have been committed to providing an opportunity for talented pianists and musicians to showcase their skills, deepen their appreciation of musical heritage, and engage with diverse repertoires across different periods and styles.

Our competition is structured to encourage musicians of all levels to perform a wide range of works, from baroque and classical masterpieces to contemporary compositions. By exploring the vast treasury of musical literature, participants develop a comprehensive understanding of the art form and build a solid foundation for their future musical endeavors.
