International competition Musica Antiqua

for pianoforte

Since 1964 the Flanders Festival Bruges organizes every year the famous International Competitions Musica Antiqua. They are open to young, highly qualified performers from all over the world, who specialize in the historically informed performance practice.

The purpose is not to stress the element of competition but rather to stimulate the highest level of execution. We are confronting young performers with their peers, with their masters and with the public.

Starting in 2008, MAfestival offers the winner(s) besides a cheque, a concert as part of the next MAfestival and a number of concerts in close collaboration with important national and international organisations in Brussels, Antwerp and Bonn.

In 2013, the International Competition Musica Antiqua for pianoforte takes place between 1st and 8th of August.
