Who for?
Kamermuziek Concours Jong Gelre is for every young musician up to 19 years of age, whether they are already studying at a conservatory, are considering doing so, or already know they will never do so, but can make beautiful music.
They will present themselves as a duo, trio or any other ensemble of any size, but always without a conductor. To be clear, the soloist is excluded. The repertoire is classical music, from ancient to contemporary.
