Prizes are awarded in July of 2011. The International Tchaikovsky Competition has been regarded as one of the major events in the global music community for more than 50 years. Over the course of the past half century, it has continued to reaffirm itself as one of the leading opportunities for extraordinary young musicians to gain international recognition and establish their careers. Each time the Competition is held in Moscow, it becomes the most prominent event in the country’s musical life. Fulfilling its goal of discovering new talent, the competition has helped to identify some of the world’s foremost performers. Under the competition chairmanship of such luminaries as Dmitri Shostakovich and Mstislav Rostropovich, past jury members have included such legendary names as Sviatoslav Richter, Nadia Boulanger, Krzysztof Penderecki, Maria Callas, Leonard Rose, and Shlomo Mintz. Among the competition winners who have achieved worldwide recognition are Van Cliburn, Vladimir Ashkenazy, Mikhail Pletnev, Gidon Kremer, Jennifer Koh, Vladimir Spivakov and Deborah Voigt.
