This year, Montreal is hosting the prestigious Jurow International Harpsichord Competition. Founded in 1982 and held every three or four years in different cities in the United States, it will take place for the first time in its history north of the border. This initiative is the result of a collaboration between the Competition, Clavecin en concert, and the Conservatoire de musique de Montréal. We are excited to offer harpsichord enthusiasts a unique opportunity to discover exceptional young talents.
