YSAYE
3rd International music competition 2020
July 6 - 11, 2020 in Liege, Belgium
Eugene Ysaye is considered as 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 Ysaye, the organizers of this edition, Elena Lavrenov and Ashot Khachatourian, wish to create a high level competition for young musicians. Their goal is to develop culture in Liege and give a chance for musicians from all around the world to show their talent.
Three prizes will be awarded per category. Cash prizes, instrumental material and vouchers will be distributed to the winners. The prizes will be awarded by the jury members and sponsors to the winners of the competition on the 11th of July 2020 at the end of the gala concert.

Présentation du concours
Le concours international de musique classique (violon et musique de chambre) YSAYE INTERNATIONAL MUSIC COMPETITION en est à sa 3ème édition et se déroulera du 6 au 11 juillet 2020 dans la Salle Académique de l'Université de Liège.
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 en 2020 a été prise. A 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. La radio et la télévision sont invitées à médiatiser le concours. Des personnalités de renommée internationale font partie du jury. Des prix pour un montant total de plus de 17000€ seront décernés aux vainqueurs. L'excellence instrumentale technique est présente tout au long des épreuves.
Le but est d’attirer en Belgique un nouveau public, de faire parler de cet événement dans le monde entier et d’obtenir, avec le temps, une belle notoriété
