Description: |
TEREM CROSSOVER is a unique festival competition, established in 2010 and unparalleled the world over. The competition brings together professional musicians with different specialities whose passion for performing is not restricted by strict academic canons - entrants are almost completely free in their choice of repertoire and can play any acoustic musical instruments, combining different styles and areas in their music. The main criterion by which candidates are assessed, according to the organisers' vision, is the depth of the emotional and spiritual impact that their music has on listeners. The modern interactive concept, the individuality and professionalism of participants, the diversity of inimitable arrangements and the powerful energy of the performances held in the format of an open concert - all this makes the TEREM CROSSOVER music competition a truly remarkable and spectacular event. This is borne out by the high ratings of the TV version of the Competition, shown on the 100 TV popular Petersburg TV channel. During the broadcast of the final round, thousands of viewers play an active part in selecting the Competition winner by direct telephone voting. Today, TEREM CROSSOVER ranks highly in the rating of major international music competitions: around 100 professional ensembles - a total of over 400 musicians from 20+ countries of Europe, Asia and America - took part in the I and II Competitions following the shortlisting process. The Competition's prize fund stands at over 1,000,000 roubles and includes large cash prizes and numerous special prizes, including a concert tour around Russia's cities, concerts at various music festivals in Russia and abroad. Eminent musicians, well-known composers and authoritative figures of the music business of Russia, Europe and Asia are invited to sit on the Competition's jury. The Competition's busy concert programme introduces the public to international stars from the instrumental music world, and allows them to see and hear the Competition's entrants in non-competitive performances at various Petersburg venues. Master classes and seminars on music management held by recognised experts in this area are arranged for professionals. Many believe that the TEREM CROSSOVER International Music Competition today rightly joins the ranks of the most interesting events, worthy of the attention of a wide range of art and music lovers. The idea for the Competition was conceived by, and the Competition itself was founded and is organised by the St. Petersburg ensemble Terem Quartet. The Competition is supported by the Committe for Culture of Saint Petersburg and Committee for External Relations of Saint Petersburg. |

Among MusicaNeo community members there are a lot of talented musicians, excellent performers and gifted composers who have already won awards at various international music contests or are preparing to take part in them. To support this most brave, venturesome and determined part of our community, MusicaNeo curates a list of music competitions. We are inviting you to take part in enriching our list and post information about international Performing/Composing contests and competitions that will take place in years 2012 – 2013 in different parts of the world. Listed are competitions for pianists, composers, vocalists, violinists, cellists, performers on wind and percussion instruments, as well as contests for choirs and chamber ensembles. In order to find a competition in the list, use the search tool by nomination, country, application date and set the earliest date suitable for you. For any musician entering a competition is a bold step that can completely change his/her creative career. To participate in a music competitions is very time-consuming – the process of preparation itself takes up plenty of time, efforts and resources, not talking about the numerous rehearsals that turn into real proof of stamina for musicians. Despite all that, for some well-known artists taking part in a music contest became a turning point in their professional careers. Among academic performers who gained popularity after winning in an international contest are: Van Cliburn, Itzhak Perlman, Luciano Pavarotti, Maxim Vengerov, Anna Netrebko. Music competitions played an important role in the development of many now famous artists and bands – Julio Iglesias, Andrea Bocelli, ABBA, Celine Dion, Toto Cutugno, Secret Garden – to name just a few. Of course, many have different attitudes to competitions in general and to a jury’s competency in particular. But no one would argue that it takes great effort from contestants, training, practice and endurance to get through in a competition, especially those open to participants form all over the world. The most talented and technically advanced performers compete and there is no chance for a second try. It goes without saying that regardless of the results, being accepted and participating in an international contest is always a victory in itself and a big step to the next professional level in music.
