Youth Chamber Music Contest&Meeting

The youngest winners of the Youth Chamber Music Contest & Meeting, a competition dedicated to ensembles under 18 from trio to sextet, will perform at Trame Sonore on equal footing with all the renowned artists who populate the Festival each year.

The Youth programme also includes two additional special prizes: two ensembles will be selected by a jury of experts composed of Festival artists to participate again in the following edition, with all travel, accommodation, and board expenses covered.

Come and discover these young talents—come and discover the protagonists of the music of the future!
