Progressive Classical Music Award Bringing some fresh air in the chamber music scene and reviving the classical music – that was the Einzige formale Vorgabe: Das Werk soll ca. 5min dauern.

Frischen Wind in die Kammermusikszene bringen und die Klassik neu beleben – das war das Ziel von Marie-Luise & Christoph Dingler (The Twiolins), als sie den Crossover Composition Award ins Leben riefen. Der Wettbewerb wird alle drei Jahre durchgeführt, um das Repertoire für die Besetzung zwei Violinen zu erweitern. In den Jahren 2009 und 2012 erfreute er sich mit jeweils ca. 100 teilnehmenden Komp

onisten aus 16 Ländern einer großen Resonanz. Die Ausschreibung fordert Musik, “die unter die Haut geht und das Publikum zu Begeisterungsstürmen hinreißt”. Ob virtuose Effekte oder große Emotionalität – die Komponisten haben musikalisch freie Hand. Die Art der Wettbewerbsausschreibung ist bewusst offen gestaltet, um neuartige Musik mit zeitgemäßen Emotionen entstehen zu lassen. Diese Stilvielfalt soll zu einer nachhaltigen Weiterentwicklung des klassischen Konzerts und Publikums beitragen.

2015 findet der dritte Crossover Composition Award (CCA) statt und die Erfolgsgeschichte, die im Jahr 2009 begann, wird fortgesetzt.

Our Story

Bringing some fresh air in the chamber music scene and reviving the classical music – that was the goal of Marie-Luise & Christoph Dingler (The Twiolins), when they originated the Progressive Classical Music Award. The competition is held every three years to expand the repertoire for two violins. In the years 2009, 2012 and2015 it has met a positive response with each about 500 composers from 5 countries participating.

The competition is seeking music which “gets under the skin and sweeps the audience off their feet” . Whether using virtuosity or great emotions– it’s the composers’ choice. Only one formal condition: The work should last about 5 minutes.

The Competition rules have been designed flexible intentionally to allow creation of new music with contemporary emotions. This diversity of styles is supposed to contribute to a sustainable development of the classical concerts and audiences.

During the CCA the audience is directly involved in the running of the competition. After a pre-selection by a representative jury, consisting of established musicians, composers and conductors (Prof. Christoph Po**en, Prof. Sidney Corbett, Aleksey Igudesman u.a.), six finalists advance to the grande finale: All selected works will be premiered by the Twiolins and the audience (300 – 400 attendees) then votes on the awards.
