The annual examination is conducted in three stages: primary, secondary, and final, and is open to the public.Often the final task is a free-choice concerto with an orchestra, but if you want to play a rare concerto you will need to arrange a private pianist.If you win, you will be able to collaborate with the Janacek Philharmonic Orchestra at the award-winning concert.The jury has an up-and-coming musician every time, and in 3, the jury chief Alexander Besa, Nobuko Imai, Pyotr Reichert and others served.The judges are waiting for a fresh performance unique to music students.
