MISSION
The Maazel/Vilar Conductors' Competition has been established to identify today's most talented young conductors and provide them with exceptional opportunities for career development. Reflecting the shared vision of its founders, conductor Lorin Maazel and philanthropist Alberto Vilar, the Competition aims to fill a critical need in the musical world by nurturing a new generation of artistic leadership. An international event, the Competition is holding six regional rounds worldwide in 2001-02 that will lead up to the final round at Carnegie Hall in New York in September 2002. At each stage, the candidates will not be competing against each other for a ranking by the jury, but rather will be measured against a standard set to demonstrate outstanding potential. This open competitive process, under the guidance of Lorin Maazel, is designed to educate all of the participants about the breadth of skills a successful conductor must possess and the rigorous training required to master those skills.
