Featuring the composition competition, the music festival will also include concerts, academic exchanges, rehearsals, live compositions, master classes, and many other activities. These all aim to sharpen young composers’ artistic skills, expand their international perspectives, and deepen the integration of creation, performance, teaching, and research.

The “Yinzhong Prize” International Composition Competition seeks to foster a spirit of innovation, collaboration, and exploration among young composers, while pushing creative boundaries in musical language from fresh and insightful perspectives. Through continued exploration of competition formats that are both contemporary and educational, the competition encourages young composers to engage with current expressions of sound, structure, and aesthetics in multicultural contexts. In doing so, it promotes global exchange and mutual learning in music composition education for youth.

A cornerstone of this year’s “Yinzhong” Music Festival, the 7th “Yinzhong Prize” International Composition Competition runs alongside festival concerts, work showcases, thematic activities, and more. It will be an integrated platform for calls for works, live composition commissions, performances, and artistic exchanges, offering young musicians the open, professional, and international space they need to thrive.
