The international clarinet competition Czech
Clarinet Art is the first and only clarinet competition on an
international level in the Czech Republic focused solely playing the
clarinet. The first year which was held in April 2013 ranked among the
major musical competitions in Europe thanks to the prizes, very high
level of the participants and the repute and credibility of the
international jury.
Czech clarinet players rank among the world
and the competition has strong foundation as it relates to the tradition
of the Czech clarinet playing and simultaneously support it. The
international competition will also draw attention to the Czech Republic
and increase the quality of local musicians. This will hopefully
influence next generations of young interpreters (not only from Czech
Republic) who are the focus group of the competition.
Czech Clarinet Art is intended for players of
the following categories: under 12 years old, under 15 years old, under
20 years and under 30 years old. The competition will take place in the
city Hořice for four days. All of the competition rounds will be public.
The competition will finish with award ceremony including the closing
concert of the winners accompanied by Filharmonic Orchestra of the
Hradec Kralove.
