Classic Pure Vienna Music Competition

About
Classic Pure Vienna

Classic Pure Vienna is an international competition platform based in the heart of Vienna, the world’s classical music capital. Since 2018, our mission has been to discover and support emerging composers and young musicians from around the globe—nurturing artistic individuality and contributing to the future of contemporary classical music.

The competition is organized by Atrium Verein für Kunst, Kultur, Bildung und Integration, a Vienna-based cultural association dedicated to art, culture, education, and intercultural dialogue.

The artistic evaluation is entrusted to an internationally active panel of composers and performers. Among them is Çağrı Beklen, a Vienna-based composer and musician who is among the voting members of the Grammy Awards and actively engaged in international music production. The panel further includes Chikara Shiojima, an experienced musician and former long-term professor currently continuing his artistic work at Mersin State Opera, as well as Hakkı Özpınar, a musician performing at the Vienna State Opera. Additional jury members such as Mirza Kapetanovic, Edith Lettner, and Barış Can Bilgin contribute to a refined and diverse artistic perspective, bringing together performance excellence, compositional expertise, and international experience.
