Eugene Ysaÿe is considered as one of the greatest musicians of all time. His compositions, mainly dedicated to the violin, reveal his great understanding of the instrument. The connection between melody and harmony in his works proves his incredible composing skills.

In memory of Eugene Ysaÿe, Elena Lavrenov and Ashot Khachatourian created a high level competition for young musicians. Their goal is to develop culture and provide an opportunity for musicians from all around the world to showcase their talent.

For the organizers, the health of all participants and staff of YIMC is a priority. This is why, we continue to monitor and remain in accordance with all new measures.
