The finalists will perform at the competition’s grand finale concert on Sunday 10 October, where contestants must play a concerto either by Brahms or Schumann, as well as a piece commissioned for the competition, Im Garten zu spielen (To be played in the garden) by Manfred Trojahn. These performances will be accompanied by the NDR Radiophilharmonie under the baton of Andrew Manze.
Prizes up for grabs include €30,000, numerous concert engagements, sheet music from G. Henle Verlag, a three-year-loan of a Guadagnini violin, as well as a record deal with Warner Classics.
