Robert Schumann International Competition for Pianists and Singers


The Robert Schumann International Competition for Pianists and Singers was constituted in 1956 in East Berlin within the framework of the commemorations on the 100th anniversary of Robert Schumann's death. A second edition was organized on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the composer's birth, and three years later a third edition was arranged in Zwickau, his birthplace. The competition, a member of the World Federation of International Music Competitions, has taken place in Zwickau every 3 or 4 years since.
