About The Bromsgrove

The Bromsgrove International Musicians Competition was founded originally as a platform for young talented musicians by Mary White in 1980 on the advice of Dr Donald Hunt, then Artistic Director of the Bromsgrove Festival. Since that time many outstanding and talented young classical musicians have taken part. Many of the winners and finalists have gone on to enjoy national and international fame.

The Competition is run by a trust, the Bromsgrove International Musicians Competition, which is a registered charity no. 1155544.
