Jeunesses International Music Competition Dinu Lipatti was held for the first time in 1994. The event discovers and promotes the values of the new generation of classical music, supports young artists in building a successful career and provides a platform for multicultural dialogue that encourages performance. The idea of establishing this competition started from the desire of a musician to provide in a former communist country, Romania and to create a chance for young artists to participate in an international competition in their country and to benefit from the same conditions as anywhere in the world and to give them a chance to promote cooperation with international and European musical institutions .
The event is named after Romanian pianist Dinu Lipatti.
“I like the idea of Jeunesses Musicals because it makes music accessible to children, allowing young people of modest origins to enter into a realm that otherwise wouldn’t really be open to them.” Dinu Lipatti, Geneve, 1950.
