WFIMC 2026 YEARBOOK

INTERNATIONAL CHAMBER MUSIC COMPETITION “PINEROLO E TORINO-CITTÀ METROPOLITANA” Pinerolo/Torino, Italy

WFIMC Member since 2011

The very first Competition, then called “Pinerolo Città della Cavalleria”, took place in 1994. Initially held in November, the International Chamber Music Competition (piano and trio sections, reserved for competitors possessing a complex and consolidated repertoire), ran concurrently with another competition, the Rassegna Internazionale di Giovani Musicisti, dedicated to younger musicians (from 5 to 23, competing in different age groups). From 1997, the available disciplines were expanded to include duos, trios, quartets and quintets with piano, strings and clarinet, and, later, also string quartets and duos of piano four hands. The Music Competition consists of 3 rounds: an elimination round with a free programme, to which all competitors are admitted; a semifinal, where the 12 competitors admitted must choose several pieces from a set list; and a final, again with a set list of pieces the 5 competitors admitted must choose from. The final five contestants will be awarded money prizes, concert engagements, the Patrizia Cerutti Bresso special prize (for the best performance of the set pieces) and, since 2010, an Audience Award, decided by popular vote after the finalists’ concert.
