Pablo Casals International Award

Introduction Competition Jury (final audition) Winners Honorary mention Conditions 2022

Supporting young cellists

The Pau Casals Foundation created the Pablo Casals International Award for Young Cellists in 1984 to help young talents further their musical studies and perfect their technique and interpretative art through instruction with distinguished teachers. Over the course of its existence, more than fifty young cellists have received the Foundation’s support, becoming an important network of ambassadors for the living musical legacy of Pablo Casals.

In the 2022 edition, the Pablo Casals International Award for Young Cellists is open to candidates from all over the world. The Award consists of three study-enhancement prizes of €18,000, €12,000 and €6,000, respectively. In addition, the Pau Casals Foundation offers artistic promotion activities and advice to the prize-winners. A jury of international prestige is responsible for examining the candidatures, selecting the finalists and choosing the winners.
