Classicalia

CLASSICALIA is an international music competition where the brightest young stars in the classical musical world get to shine. Hundreds of musical prodigies from around the world entered the competition, and after two preliminary rounds of judging, nine finalists were chosen to travel to Vienna and perform at the Konzaerthaus with the Vienna Opera Ball Orchestra. CLASSICALIA is hosted by singer, pianist, composer and actress Shelea Melody McDonald and conductor and teacher Maestro Alistair Willis. They are joined by a trio of judges: celebrated violin virtuoso Eszter Haffner, acclaimed concert pianist Jura Margulis, and Grammy Award-nominated keyboardist, session musician and musical director Greg Phillinganes. Each year, CLASSICALIA features a new cohort of award-winning young artists competing in three age categories: Junior (6-11), Intermediate (12-17) and Senior (18-25). The winners in each category are determined by three internationally renowned musicians, who offer each young finalist thoughtful and instructive feedback on their performances to guide their musical education and aspirations.
