The inaugural competition will be held in Brussels, Belgium - from 8th May to 3rd June, 2017.

“The decision to launch a new competition, dedicated to the cello, was a natural one, taken after meeting with a number of outstanding young cellists and against a background of worldwide enthusiasm for the instrument today…” Competition Secretary General Michel-Etienne Van Neste has told The Violin Channel.

Moving forward the annual Queen Elisabeth International Music Competition structure will be adjusted from a 3 to a 4 year cycle – with Cello in 2017, Voice in 2018, Violin in 2019 and Piano in 2020.

The 70 opening round cello candidates, including VC Artist Benedict Kloeckner, were announced earlier this week.
