2nd Beethoven International ProMusic Competition
2nd Beethoven International ProMusic Competition
The 2nd BEETHOVEN International ProMUSIC Competition is open to all instrumentalists, chamber music groups, singers, conductors and composers of any nationality and without age limit.
With the aim of participants testing themselves by offering their best version of themselves as artists, we have designed this competition with various categories so that everyone has their place.
Without a competitive atmosphere, with the peace of mind of being able to prepare a work of up to 10 minutes in length, contestants will be able to present themselves by sending a video of themselves to the competition with a link to YOUTUBE or VIMEO, making participation an easy process.
