Annual classical music competition held in Germany
The ARD International Music Competition (German: Internationaler Musikwettbewerb der ARD ) is the largest international classical music competition in Germany . It is organised by the Bayerischer Rundfunk and is held once a year in Munich , usually in September. Since its inception in 1952, it has become one of the most prestigious classical music competitions. In 1957, it became one of the founding members of the World Federation of International Music Competitions .
A prize at this competition has acted as a springboard for a career.[ 1] Notable past winners and prize winners include: Yuri Bashmet , Myung-whun Chung , Christoph Eschenbach , Sol Gabetta , Alban Gerhardt , Natalia Gutman , Heinz Holliger , Nobuko Imai , Tsuyoshi Tsutsumi , Kim Kashkashian , François Leleux , Jessye Norman , Quatuor Ébène , Thomas Quasthoff , Jean-Guihen Queyras , Antoine Tamestit , Christian Tetzlaff , Alexandre Tharaud , Tokyo String Quartet , Mitsuko Uchida and Anne Sofie von Otter .[ 2] [ 3]
Between 1947 and 1950, the Radio Frankfurt held a "Young Soloists Competition". The earliest competition discovered two female vocalists who would soon take their place among the international talented: Christa Ludwig and Erika Köth . Instrumentalists included flautist Karlheinz Zöller and pianist Robert-Alexander Bohnke. The newly founded ARD continued the concept of bringing together talented young musicians from the entire globe.
The competition categories change from year to year and include solo instrumentsm voice and chamber ensembles. An emphasis has been placed on modern music, and contemporary composers have regularly been commissioned to write new pieces for this Competition since 2001.
350 to 450 young musicians usually apply each year, out of whom 200 candidates, from 35 to 40 countries, make it past the preliminary round. A large percentage of competitors come from countries other than Germany (up to 86%).[ 3]
The 2020 edition was cancelled because of the COVID-19 pandemic in Germany .[ 4]

Piano competition had been held almost uninterruptedly from 1952 to 1973, except the years 1955 and 1964. It was then held every other year till 1981. It was held consecutively from 1981 to 1983, and then every other year again till 1999.
In 1953, three categories were added: violin, flute, violin-piano duo. Violin competition was held every 3 years from 1966 to 1984.
Four categories were added in 1954: voice, oboe, bassoon, clarinet. The voice competition had been held every year from 1954 to 1972. It was then held every two years till 2000. Oboe competition had been held every five years from 1976 to 1996. Bassoon competition had been held six times in the 20th century.
The competition kept expanding categories in the following years, adding piano duo (1955), horn (1956), cello (1957), organ (1957). New categories in 1958 were cello-piano duo, trumpet, and harpsichord, which would only have three additional editions. String quartet competition opened in 1959.
The 1960s saw the first edition of piano trio (1961), viola (1962), trombone (1965), wind quintet (1966). Two categories briefly appeared: string trio (1961, 1969) and piano sight-reading (1963, 1965). Four categories premiered in the 1970s: guitar (1976), percussion (1977), double bass (1979), and recorder, which was only held twice so far (1978, 1988). The first harp competition was held in 1983, as its only edition in the 20th century.
