Due to the COVID situation, we decided to hold at least the first round without an audience. Only participants, jury members and staff are allowed to enter the competition venues. We will reevaluate as the competition advances.

We had to make changes to the jury at short notice. You can find the current jury here.

As an additional service, we have created a page where you can easily search for train connections between Pörtschach and Velden or Klagenfurt.

 

We are happy to announce that the Lied-competition will again take place in the famous “Schloß Velden”. We also heartly welcome our jury members of the 4 categories of this year’s competition, who you can find here.

Please note that in order to take part in our competition, you will have to be vaccinated or recovered from the coronavirus, the third option is to test yourself directly in Pörtschach or Velden. We will keep you updated about testing possibilities at our competition.

The registration for the 28th Johannes Brahms Competition is open.

As in the previous year, we are affected by planning uncertainties due to the COVID situation. Nevertheless, we intend to hold the competition as planned. However, if a cancellation should become necessary, we will announce this as early as possible. Should we have to cancel the competition, the registration fee will be refunded.
