The International Chamber Music Competition “Luigi Nono” is addressed to young performers of age between 15 and 29 (for soloists) and between 15 and 33 (for Chamber music).

It is comprised of two sections:

• Chamber Music, for performers between the age of 15 and 33 in any formation from duos to octets with at most 1 piano;

• Soloists, for performers between the age of 15 and 29, any instrument and possibly including a piano accompanist.

Since its first editions, the Luigi Nono Competition has achieved high levels of quality and quantity, earning its "international" namesake thanks to the consistent participation of performers from all over the world, who are deservedly awarded every year.

PRIZES

A first, second and third prize are awarded for both categories. A recital in the subsequent season of concerts organized by “Amici per la Musica” is also awarded to first prize winners in both sections. Other performers can be playing in recitals in the season, if so desired by them and by the Jury. Special prizes are sometimes awarded, such as the "Contemporary Music" prize for the performer of a piece composed after 1950. This is strictly connected with the Luigi Nono Composition Prize whose winner will be asked to compose a piece made for the winner of Contemporary Music Prize. A dedicated concert will be held in the season.
