During the long-await­ed final of MA Competition, the remain­ing can­di­dates will daz­zle us with an impres­sive pro­gramme. From the reper­toire that they sent in, the jury will select a sin­gle solo work. The Belgian com­pos­er Heleen Van Haegenborgh has writ­ten six new, unique laments tai­lored to their own instru­ment. And as the high­light of the after­noon, the final­ists will demon­strate their vir­tu­os­i­ty with a solo con­cer­to, accom­pa­nied by a Baroque ensem­ble. The win­ner will go home with a cash prize and an inter­na­tion­al con­cert tour. A sin­gle promis­ing artist will be giv­en the oppor­tu­ni­ty to record a CD with the pres­ti­gious label Ricercar. Viola da gam­ba, baroque vio­lin, ‑cel­lo, ‑oboe, recorder or tra­ver­so: who will become the new jury and pub­lic favourite? Help decide on 14 August at 1.30 pm in Bruges!

The procla­ma­tion of the final will take place at 18:30.
