In 2002 four Frankfurt musical institutions founded the International Conducting Competition Sir Georg Solti as a platform for young conductors to compete with one another and present themselves to the public. Named after Solti, the great conductor who served as Frankfurt’s musical director for many years, the Competition was held regularly until 2020. For many young conductors the Competition turned out to be the starting point for a successful career as an international conductor.
The partners are currently not planning to continue the Competition.
