The operating model of the Competition is inspired by the values in which George Enescu himself believed. It recognizes, encourages, and promotes young talents in classical music, just as the great Romanian composer supported and helped young musicians during his life. At the same time, the Competition contributes to the promotion of George Enescu’s music worldwide, as his sonatas and suites are a must for those who reach the semifinals.
