SELECTION PROCESS
Following a preliminary step, the Competition consists of
three rounds: quarter final, semi-final, and final. Candidates
must present a different programme for each of the rounds.
However, in the quarter final, semi-final, or final rounds,
candidates may repeat a work already performed as part of the
programme in the preliminary step.
Preliminary step
Three selection committees, appointed by Competition officials, choose the quarter finalists after conducting a blind audition of recordings and reviewing applications submitted by the candidates.
THE ROUNDS
Quarter final round
An international jury will listen to candidates chosen as quarter finalists and select those who are to proceed to the semi-final round. Quarter finalists will perform their recital before an audience.
Semi-final round
An international jury will listen to the candidates chosen as semi-finalists and select those who are to proceed to the final round. Semi-finalists will perform their recital before an audience.
Final round
In the final round, open to the general public, the jury will listen to finalists who will be accompanied by the
Orchestre Métropolitain. Following the final round, the president of the jury will announce the names of the winners of the Montreal International Musical Competition.
Gala concert
The three prize-winners, accompanied by the Orchestre
Métropolitain, will perform in a gala concert. This prestigious event will bring the MIMC to a close.
