EMCY is the European Union of Music Competitions for Youth: a network of national and international music competitions for young people across Europe, covering nearly thirty countries from Portugal to Russia and from Norway to Bulgaria. Since its foundation in 1970, EMCY stands for musical excellence, promoting the youth and European cooperation.
We support our member competitions to share practical and musical know-how
With EMCY´s Quality Standards we promote fairness and the educational value of competitions
We organise innovative concerts, tours, workshops and master classes for the EMCY Prize winners of our member competitions
Develop, support and promote musical education of young talents in the pre-professional stage, as well as collaboration and exchange between music competitions for youth on a European level

Our mission
We believe that music competitions stimulate passionate musicianship. For many, they’re a first glimpse of performing in public, playing in ensembles, or of breaking out of orthodox repertoire. They foster a sense of healthy self-assessment, can help conquer nerves, and motivate practise. We believe young people can be inspired by experiencing fresh interpretations and discovering new works, and make new friends from other European cultures in the process.
