Carl Nielsen International Competition (#Nielsen2022)

Three years ago, the Carl Nielsen International Competition combined its violin, flute, and clarinet disciplines into one concurrent competition, and in 2022, the triple tradition continues! Join us in Odense, Denmark, for final-round action on medici.tv from this year's edition of one of the world's most prestigious competitions.
