YSAYE
International Music Competition
ONLINE
July 5 - 10, 2021 from Liege, Belgium
Eugene Ysaÿe is considered one of the greatest musicians of all time. His compositions mainly dedicated to the violin reveal his great knowledge of the instrument. The connection between the melody and the harmony proves his incredible composing skills.
In memory of Eugene Ysaÿe, the organizers, Elena Lavrenov and Ashot Khachatourian, wish to create a high level competition for young musicians. Their goal is to develop culture and give a chance for musicians from all around the world to show their talent.
One way or another, directly or indirectly, we are now all impacted by COVID-19. For the organizers, the health of all participants and staff of YIMC is a priority. This is why, in accordance with the new measures and without knowing how the situation will be in July 2021, the organizers decided to organize an ONLINE competition for its 3rd edition.
More than three prizes will be awarded per category at the end of the competition.

Présentation du concours
Le concours international de musique classique (violon et musique de chambre) YSAYE INTERNATIONAL MUSIC COMPETITION ONLINE en est à sa 3ème édition et se déroulera du 5 au 10 juillet 2021 ONLINE. Les membres du jury uniquement seront présents à la Salle Académique de l'Université de Liège. Le concours sera diffusé en direct sur les pages Facebook YIMC et sur la chaîne YouTube du concours.
Vu le succès incroyable que ce concours a connu dans le monde de la musique classique et en particulier chez les jeunes du monde entier (38 nationalités, 209 participants,...) en 2019, la décision évidente de réitérer ce concours a été prise. De Liège évidemment puisque c’est là que se trouve le berceau du célèbre violoniste Eugène Ysaye.
Elena Lavrenov et Ashot Khachatourian, à travers l’asbl LA Vraie Note, souhaitent par le biais de cet événement promouvoir les savoir-faire belges et liégeois à une échelle mondiale.
Conformément aux nouvelles mesures et sans savoir comment sera la situation liée au COVID-19 en juillet 2021, les organisateurs ont décidé d'organiser un concours EN LIGNE pour sa 3e édition.
Plus de trois prix seront décernés par catégorie à l'issue du concours.
