第２5回 大阪国際音楽コンクール
The 25th 2024
Osaka International Music Competition
We are pleased to announce that the Hong Kong regional round of the Osaka international competition is finally taking place again. After a difficult period of being unable to travel due to Covid-19, we are thrilled to host this event now that the borders are finally open. This competition is a wonderful opportunity to bring people together and enjoy the beauty of music once again.
Music is often referred to as the universal language, and it is a language that everyone can share and appreciate. It has the power to connect people from all walks of life, transcending cultural and linguistic barriers. We hope to experience this power of music firsthand by organizing events such as this.
We are honored to have been invited to host the regional round of this prestigious competition. This is an excellent opportunity for us to showcase the talent of musicians in our region and to demonstrate our commitment to the arts.
We hope that everyone’s participation will take advantage of this opportunity to share the beauty and power of music and the selected finalists shall have a fulfilling professional experience performing in Osaka. Please let music transport you into a world of pure emotion and artistry.
