IBLA Grand Prize Winners

The IBLA GRAND PRIZE International Music Competition is an annual music competition open to merely all instruments, vocalists and composers with a focus on classical music. Musicians are encouraged to present the music they love the most and that represents their music vision. The competition aims to nourish the career of the winners by offering an extensive international performance experience. This competition is different from most other music competitions in a way that there are no rounds or prizes such as a first and second prize, and competitors are judged against the international standard of high quality performances rather than competing against each other. From that perspective, there could be one, or many winners, depending on the performance quality level expressed by contestants. Participants play their program (or parts of it) multiple times, and whenever possible in multiple venues, from churches to theaters, villas and historical palaces. Every performance is being judged and counts for the final vote. The best performers will be invited for concerts abroad in such venues as Carnegie Hall. Besides the professional experience, the IBLA GRAND PRIZE offers a unique opportunity to meet and interact with fellow musicians from all over the world in the awe inspiring environment of a beautiful Italian baroque village of Ragusa Ibla, Italy.
