International Johannes Brahms Competition
The International Johannes Brahms Competition ("Brahms Competition") is an international competition for the performers of piano, violin, viola, cello, chamber music, and singers.
The competition has taken place annually since 1993. The event is held in Pörtschach am Wörthersee, Austria, where Johannes Brahms occasionally stayed during the summer.
In each category, competitors are obliged to perform works composed by Brahms, either in the preliminary or final round.
Winners in the cello category have included István Várdai (1st prize in 2006, Hungary), Yuki Ito (1st prize in 2010, Japan), Benjamin Truchi (1st prize in 2012, France), Michiaki Ueno (1st prize in 2014, Japan), Christoph Croisé (1st prize in 2015, France), Gabriel Schwabe (2nd prize in 2005, Germany), Michael Petrov (2nd prize in 2012, Bulgaria), and Benedict Klöckner (3rd prize in 2006, Germany).[1]
