International Tuba Competition 2022, Porcia ITALY

There are few contests just for the brass (horn, trumpet, trombone and tuba) all over the world. It was created as a means to increase the value of the wind instruments and its aim is the comparison between musicians coming from different schools and musical traditions that differ in interpretative style and instrumental technique. It wants to be a stepping-stone, an opportunity to promote new talents and future soloists. The prizes include not only money prizes, but also concert prizes in collaboration with important Italian Associations.

As a proof of the quality of the event, in 1996 the Competition “Città di Porcia” became a member of the World Federation of International Music Competition based in Geneva. Thanks to this prestigious acknowledgment the Competition “Città di Porcia” is one of the most important International Music Competitions as proven by the high number of contestants and their country of origin.

The members of the Jury represent not only different schools and styles, but also different countries and nationalities.

The Final with Orchestra, which declares the winners, is followed by a large audience. "Giuseppe Verdi" Theatre in Pordenone seats about 400 people every year. Moreover all the rounds of the competition have been broadcasted via streaming for ages with very positive results in listening. The final with Orchestra is recorded by RAI Trieste and it is broadcasted several times over a year.
