Held every four years, the Evgeny Svetlanov International Conducting Competition showcases the most promising young conductors destined to shape the future of Classical Music.
We believe that each conductor selected for the Competition possesses a unique artistic voice and the talent to move audiences worldwide. Over 80% of our participants have gone on to build international careers, sharing the magic of musical interpretation across continents.
Let us recall some of them: Benjamin Ellin, Jesko Sirvend, Roberto Forés Veses, Lio Kuokman, Andris Poga, Fuad Ibrahimov, Debora Waldman, Harish Shankar, Stanislav Kochanovsky, Ivan Cherednichenko, Euan Shields, and many others whose artistry continues to enrich the classical music world.
Your support helps identify, empower, and promote the next generation of exceptional conductors. It also plays a vital role in preserving the artistic legacy of Maestro Svetlanov, while making musical excellence accessible to a global audience.
We offer multiple ways to contribute — from musical partnerships, sponsorship, and patronage to media, institutional, and in-person involvement. Together, we can amplify Svetlanov’s mission, guided by the values of Excellence, Passion for Music, Transmission, and Integrity.
