Robert Schumann International Competition for Pianists and Singers
- Robert Schumann International Competition for Pianists and Singers
The Robert Schumann International Competition for Pianists and Singers was constituted in 1956 in East Berlin within the framework of the commemorations on the 100th anniversary of Robert Schumann's death. A second edition was organized on the occasion of the composer's 150th anniversary, and three years later a third edition was arranged in Zwickau. The competition, a member of the World Federation of International Music Competitions, has took place in Schumann's birthplace every 3/4 years since.
