- CIDO 2021<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

International <\/span>Conducting Competition<\/span><\/em><\/h1>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
The CIDO Ll\u00edria City of Music discovers and promotes young conductors from around the world. Three editions, over 500 applicants from 60 countries, \u20ac8,500 in prizes, and Spain's top orchestras. 25 finalists from across the globe competed from July 12 to 17, 2021, before a world-class international jury. The first edition was so extraordinary that it deserved to be documented. A documentary captures the complete experience of the 1st CIDO: the rehearsals, the jury's deliberations, the finalists' emotions, and the unique setting of Ll\u00edria as the stage for an international musical competition: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=PAKqSA0MAWE<\/span><\/h5>\n

In July 2021, Ll\u00edria achieved something no Spanish city had ever done before: launching an international orchestral conducting competition from a UNESCO Creative City of Music, driven by an explicit commitment to international cooperation and solidarity. The outcome exceeded all expectations. 188 conductors from 35 countries registered for the inaugural edition. Hungarian conductor Levente T\u00f6r\u00f6k emerged as the winner, demonstrating that Ll\u00edria boasts not only rich musical history, but also great ambition for the future. Second prize went to Edmon Levon and third prize to Liubov Nosova.<\/h5>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
