2020 Competition Application

Due to the COVID-19 crisis and the uncertainty around ongoing travel restrictions and potential limits on gatherings, we have made the difficult decision to cancel this year’s competition. We are committed to hosting the competition in Cleveland in 2021, where we will premiere the commissioned work written by David Skidmore. Find more information here or reach out to Jerome LaCorte, competition manager at the Cleveland Institute of Music.
