Registration

Dear participants and friends of the competition,

due to the still existing uncertainties of the financing, and the resulting shortage of time for planning and preparation, we unfortunately have to cancel the Johannes Brahms Competition 2022.

We hope for a positive turn of events in the coming months and look forward to seeing you again in 2023.

 

In principle, a competition in the categories piano, violin and cello is planned for 2022, whereby the programme will be oriented towards previous years; at most, there could be changes in the final.
However, we regret that we are unable to give a definite commitment to hold the competition at the present time, as the financing has not yet been secured – the municipality of Pörtschach has largely withdrawn from subsidising the competition.
In case of a positive turn of events, the registration portal will be open in April at the latest.

 

Soprano Misaki Morino was a prize-winner of the International Johannes Brahms Competition 2020. 

The original Japanese version achieved 1 million views.

Congratulations!

The prizewinner’s concert will take place on Sunday, 9th 5pm at the Casineum Velden.
