24th International Johannes Brahms Competition Pörtschach
Prizes

Awards Ceremony

All prizes are handed over to the prize winners at a public gala concert on Sunday, September 10, 2017 at the Casino of Velden am Wörthersee, a town near Pörtschach. Usually, all prize sponsors are present and hand over certificates and prize monies in person.

The winners of the first and second prizes take to the stage with a short, virtuosic piece of a maximum duration of 4 to 5 minutes. This gives them the cance to additionally win the prize of the audience of EUR 750. Due to limited time it is unfortunately not possible for the third prize winners to play at the gala concert.

This year, the gala concert follows - in a broad sense - the common theme folk music (dance music), if possible in connection with your home. The following compositions and composers should give you some ideas, they are not meant as restrictions or rules. We look forward to hearing your own choices!
F. Chopin (Mazurkas), A. Dvorak (Slavonic Dances), G. Kreisler, P. de Sarasate, H. Sitt, A. Borodin, J. Hubay, M. Ravel, A. Glazunov. H. Wieniawski, J. Achron, O. Musin, S. Rachmaninoff, etc.
Of course you may also choose from the competition programme, e.g. a folk song from your home, Brahms Volkslieder, Brahms Hungarian Dances, Zimbalist Sarasateana or similar.

Furthermore, all laureates will be offered free membership at HELLO STAGE, the online community for classical music.
