For more than ten years, the Queen Elisabeth Competition has been a pioneer in the field of streaming of its competition rounds, freely accessible thanks to the RTBF, the VRT and the contribution of Proximus. After the Competition was cancelled in 2020, the magnificent Piano Competition in 2021 was followed by many people online, but it did not yield box-office receipts. We now need your contribution more than ever, to support the Competition and the young cello talents who will make you experience unforgettable moments of emotion. Every donation counts !
