All evaluations are open to the public! We look forward to your visit.

Expert jurors from the fields of universities, music schools, schools and radio/media will evaluate the individual performances and for some of them will award the coveted forwarding to the national competition, which will take place this year from June 5-11 in Wuppertal.

The state competition is made possible by the sponsoring North Rhine-Westphalian savings banks, the City of Cologne and the NRW Ministry of Culture and Science. The competition is organized by the Landesmusikrat NRW.
