Competition

The Muri Competition is a music contest hosted by the Murikultur Foundation. The Foundation’s quest for artistic excellence has led it to a strong commitment to promoting young musicians. The Muri Competition’s artistic directors, the internationally connected oboist Renato Bizzotto, Matthias Rácz (solo bassoonist at the Tonhalle Orchestra Zurich and world renowned bassoonist) and Martin Frutiger (solo English horn at the Tonhalle Orchestra Zurich) have created a world-class event for double-reed soloists. In 2023 the competition will be carried out for the fourth time.

The Muri Competition offers young soloists the opportunity to compete in an attractive contest where the main prizes are not limited to a single cash payment but the laureates’ careers will be supported by generous scholarships and concert invitations.
