40 candidates from different continents showed interest in the competition. 28 of them were selected for the first round. The jury is headed by Jose Cura.
The laureates will participate in a gala evening with the orchestra of the Plovdiv Opera on August 26 at the Ancient Theatre under the baton of Jose Cura.
