2021 American Classical Young Musician Award

American Classical Young Musician Award wants to encourage young musicians to perform and grow. We believe that our competition can offer many benefits to our participants and help to build their confidence and realize their dreams. Our purpose is to discover artists of outstanding personality and provide awards, which can help to launch international careers. The aim of our prizes is to find performers with a strong artistic personality and stage presence. The emphasis is therefore not on the purely technical aspect of the performance, but also on the artistic charisma of the performer.

The 2021 American Classical Young Musician Award is open to all instruments, voice, and chamber ensembles. We encourage unique chamber ensemble combinations.
