International Voice-Piano competition
Founded in 2001, biannual, Nadia and Lili Boulanger international Singing and Piano Competition’ purpose is to encourage the development of young singers and piano accompanists. The other purpose of the competition is to popularise the work of Lili Boulanger and more particularly the undeservedly neglected work of Nadia Boulanger.
The competition takes place in Paris each two years, in front of a seven-members international jury. It is remarkable by the fact that prizes are awarded to the best singer, to the best piano accompanist and to the best duet: Singing Prize of € 8.000, Piano Prize of € 8.000 and Duet Prize of € 8.000.
The musical repertory (see the regulations) is to content songs in French language, lieder in German language and works in other languages, and the competitors are also required to perform works by J.-S. Bach, by Lili Boulanger or Nadia Boulanger and a song commissioned by the competition.
Its inspiration comes from the teaching methods of Nadia Boulanger who taught piano accompaniment at the Paris Conservatoire from 1946 to 1954.
