CONDUCTING COMPETITION

Searching for a

"complete conductor"

Makris Conducting Competition was formed with the goal to promote and discover outstanding musical talent. Organized in honor of Greek-American violinist and composer ANDREAS MAKRIS who collaborated with many famous conductors, including Leonard Bernstein and Mstislav Rostropovich, it wishes to promote cultural exchange, tolerance, equality, understanding and the highest level of musicianship. Our innovative judging process was put together so that it can offer the fairest and most unbiased evaluation, allowing the competitors to share their talent in a positive atmosphere, allowing them to focus to what matters most - the music.
