ABOUT
Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky used to say «One couldn't think of anything more exciting than San Remo…".

Throughout the 19th and the 20th century it was a colorful and picturesque nature of the Ligurian coast that inspired many famous artists and composers.

Our Contest can pave the way for new talented musicians in the world of Classical Music. We are setting a new music project to complement a traditional Song Festival well-known for more than 60 years. Apart from being inspired with beautiful landscapes of San Remo you can visit and take part in master classes led by the Professors of Moscow Conservatory and the Gnesin's Academy. The participants will perform at the famous stage and compete for the Gran-Prix, the Best Performer, the Masterly Skill and other awards. Looking forward to get your applications! Wish you all the luck and inspiration!
