German conducting competition From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Gustav Mahler Conducting Competition is one of the most important music competitions of its kind worldwide and is held in Bamberg, Germany.[1] Conductors no older than 35 years may enter.
The competition was founded by the Bamberg Symphony Orchestra, with the idea of helping young conductors at the start of their conducting careers. The first prize includes a cash prize and engagements with several orchestras.[2]
It started in 2004 with Gustavo Dudamel's decisive win[3] and since then has taken place every three years.
