  The 6th Rising Stars Grand Prix 2021 International Music Competition Berlin was held online this month. The online competition included age group categories for soloists and chamber music duos to sextets, in a variety of instruments including the accordion. Competitors chose a free program of any classical music period (Baroque, Classical, Romantic, Contemporary etc.), as well as folk/traditional music or jazz. Results: 1st Prize: Senior (19 Years and over) – “Gemini Duo” (picture above left) which consists of twins Wanchen Zhao and Wanxu Zhao (China) who are Bachelor students under Professor Geir Draugsvoll at The Royal Danish Academy of Music. 1st Prize: Senior (19 Years and over) – Accordion & Flute Duo of Raphael Brunner (Austria - accordion, picture above right) and Juan Bueno (Colombia - flute). Due to the ongoing situation with Covid-19, the 2021 Prize Winner Concert, which was due to be held in the Philharmone Berlin, has been postponed to 2022. |
