GENUIN Classics Sponsors CD Production for the 2015 ARD Music Competition

Starting in 2015, a CD production with GENUIN classics will be awarded as a special prize by the ARD International Music Competition. GENUIN classics is already working together with numerous competitions including the national German Music Competition (Deutscher Musikrat, Edition Primavera) and the International Bach Competition (Bach-Archiv Leipzig). The prizewinners of the edition Primavera include the tuba player Andreas Martin Hofmeir, the cellist Nicolas Altstaedt and the violist Nils Mönkemeyer, who have launched international careers under this award.

The ARD International Music Competition is, alongside the Tchaikovsky Competition, and the Queen Elisabeth Competition, regarded as one of the most important multidisciplinary competitions worldwide. GENUIN artists have also taken part in the competition: this year the percussionist Alexej Gerassimez received second prize in the percussion category. The pianist Annika Treutler made it to the semi-finals in this year's competition as the only German.
