Paris Music Competition

The first Paris Music and Art Competition was held in 2022, and the fifth edition of the Paris Music Competition has been fully launched in 2027. Since the summer of 2023, the finals have been held in Paris, France, for four consecutive years, using the world-renowned Cortot Hall of the École Normale Supérieure de Musique de Paris as the stage for the finals. This is an international music competition centered around global music lovers and professionals, dedicated to blending the traditions and modernity of Eastern and Western music, actively promoting multi-dimensional interactions and exchanges between China and France in culture, art, education, youth, and more, and building an artistic platform for cross-cultural dialogue and innovation. Shanghai Music Publishing House and THE HONG KONG MUSIC EDUCATION ASSOCIATION serve as guiding units, while SAE Art Education Platform is the organizing unit. The judging panel for the China finals consists of renowned experts and professors from prestigious art institutions across the country, including the Central Conservatory of Music, the China Conservatory of Music, the Shanghai Conservatory of Music, the Zhejiang Conservatory of Music, the Sichuan Conservatory of Music, the Wuhan Conservatory of Music, the Xinghai Conservatory of Music, the Shenyang Conservatory of Music, the Tianjin Juilliard School, the Nanjing University of the Arts, the Guangxi University of the Arts, and the Inner Mongolia University of Arts, as well as the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra, Guangzhou Symphony Orchestra, and Shenzhen Symphony Orchestra. The judging panel for the Paris finals brings together renowned musicians from France, Germany, Italy, Austria, the United Kingdom, China, and other countries. Participants come from over 30 regions across the country, covering a wide range and diverse sources, fully demonstrating the diversity and influence of the competition. The professional judges not only set artistic standards for the participants but also play a leading role in professional norms. The China finals feature a specially designed award ceremony for all contestants, where each participant has the opportunity to take the stage and receive their exclusive honor, capturing the highlight moments of their musical growth. Accompanying parents can observe the entire ceremony and have the chance to interact face-to-face with authoritative judges and outstanding contestants, sharing in the joy of art and discussing musical growth together. In addition to our professional judging system, we also value the participants' experience in the competition. Each time, we carefully select top-notch concert halls both domestically and internationally as the competition venues, such as the Shanghai Oriental Art Center, Zhejiang Concert Hall, Shenzhen Jingshan Theater, Zhuhai Jinwan Art Center, Quanzhou Grand Theater, Zhejiang Conservatory of Music Concert Hall, Xinghai Concert Hall, and Nanjing University of the Arts Concert Hall. These venues boast excellent professional sound fields and acoustic effects, providing each participant with a unique stage experience. The ultimate honor of this musical journey is to advance to Paris and perform at the century-old Cortot Hall, a world-class musical palace. It is not only the pinnacle stage for the finals but also the most precious gift we can offer to all participants, becoming an important "check-in point" worth commemorating on their musical growth journey. Since its inception, the Paris Music and Art Competition in France has garnered unanimous praise from experts, professors, and participants from various sectors both domestically and internationally, thanks to its high-standard organization, professional judging, and pursuit of excellence in art!
