Contents of the competition
The participants must present themselves within approx. 35 minutes in a soloistically versatile, coherently conceived, artistically convincing presentation, which may well have an innovative character. Solo, chamber music and ensemble conducting parts alternate. All subjects are available as solo instrumental subjects, at least two different ones should be chosen. The chosen ensemble(s) can also be chosen from a broad spectrum (conducting a choir, orchestra, band, dance group with musical accompaniment, etc.).
 One part can pursue an explicitly artistic-educational approach and, for example, be arranged to teach music or be performed with a children's/youth/amateur group. In the subsequent discussion, the students have the opportunity to provide further insights into the program design and development and, if necessary, to answer questions from the commission.

The competition is open to the public. There will not be an additional prizewinners' concert.
