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 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.

The Competition is open to instrumentalists and pianists of all nationalities aged 18 to 25 (28 for singers).

  • First Prize – £5,000 generously donated by the Helen Rachael Mackaness Trust. We will also work with the winner to help you obtain concerto opportunities with the prestigious Orchestra of the Swan, the famous Three Choirs Festival, and at the prominent Royal Birmingham Conservatoire.
  • Two other Finalists’ Prizes of £2,000 each.
  • The Adjudicators also have discretion to award a Highly Commended Prize when appropriate to a semi-finalist who is not selected for the Finalists’ Concert.
Applications

The competition runs biennially, with the next one being held from 26th to 31st May 2025 in Routh Concert Hall at Bromsgrove School. The Finalists' Concert will take place on the evening of Saturday, 31st May 2025.
