In more than 75 years of existence, Geneva has revealed close to 800 artists, including well-known figures such as Martha Argerich, Arturo Benedetti-Michelangeli, Maurice André, Georg Solti, Tabea Zimmermann, Nelson Goerner and Emmanuel Pahud…
Geneva's multi-disciplinary approach is one of its most distinctive assets. Today, the Geneva Competition alternates between several main disciplines: piano, flute, oboe, clarinet, cello, viola, string quartet, voice and percussion. Every second year, it offers a Composition Prize.
In addition to its official prizes, Geneva offers a career development programme, providing precious support and advice to help boost laureates’ careers. The programme includes two years of concert management, as well as CD recordings, international tours, a festival and professional workshops.
