Montreal International Musical Competition
From The Right Wiki
(Redirected from Montreal International Piano Competition)
The Concours musical international de Montréal (CMIM) is an elite-level competition for classical musicians who are interested in pursuing an international career as a professional concert artist. Established in 2001 by the late André Bourbeau and by the late French-Canadian bass Joseph Rouleau, the CMIM features three disciplines - voice, violin and piano - on a rotating basis over a three-year cycle. The CMIM is composed of four rounds: the preliminary round (based on video recordings), the first round, the semi-finals and the finals.[1] Award winners receive prizes and grants valued at over $150,000. The 2024 edition, dedicated to the piano, will be followed by the voice edition in 2025 and the violin edition in 2026.[2] André Bourbeau was the president of the Competition since its first edition in 2002 and was succeeded by François R. Roy in 2018. Since May 2004, the CMIM has been a member of the World Federation of International Music Competitions.[3] In September 2023, Chantal Poulin and Shira Gilbert were appointed as Executive Director and Artistic Director of the CMIM.[4]
Editions
