prima la musica - Brass

Bedingungen & Repertoire

Anmeldung & Gebühr

• Registration is open from 15 November to 15 December 2026. The organizer gives a date only. Austria uses CET (Europe/Vienna, UTC+1) then; the precise closing time is unpublished. There is no entry fee.
• Apply online from 15 November through 15 December 2026. No entry fee. Austrian, South Tyrolean and Liechtenstein musicians are eligible, as are other nationals whose main residence has been in one of those places since at least 1 January 2026.
• For each evaluation category choose one state, based on residence or study. Up to two evaluations across SOLO, PLUS and chamber music, excluding assessed accompaniment. From age group III, pre-college and enrolled conservatoire or music-university students must enter PLUS for solo categories. The SOLO regulations do not list recommendation letters.
• Create an account or sign in on the official portal. The entrant form is behind sign-in; its fields for recommendation letters, referees, witnesses, identification, photographs, CVs and guardian consent could not be verified. The public rules do not specify such attachments. Travel and accommodation are paid by entrants.

Runden & Zeitvorgaben

Brass SOLO · provincial round

• Age on 31 August 2026 and playing time: A up to 7 and B 8–9, both 6–10 min. I 10–11, 8–12 min. II 12–13, 10–14 min. III 14–16 and IV 17–19, both 15–20 min. Only I and II can advance to the federal round, with at least 90 points.
• Trumpet/flugelhorn, horn, euphonium/tenor horn, trombone or tuba. Choose contrasting works across periods, including original repertoire and at least one Classical-era or contemporary work. Suitable arrangements and sensible cuts are allowed. Bring original editions of contemporary works.

Federal round · age groups I and II

• Use the same programme rules and time limits. You may replace, add or remove one work if the resulting programme still complies. Notify musikderjugend@ooe.gv.at by 15 April 2027.

Repertoire

• At least one piece from memory in each round. Sensible cuts are allowed. Use at most one live accompanying instrument at a time, counting continuo as one. Recorded accompaniment is prohibited, while electronics specified in the composition are allowed. Arrange and pay for your own accompanist.
• Brass SOLO uses the shared 2027 SOLO rulebook. The separate PLUS route covers ages III+ and IV+, including compulsory works from the two instrument-specific pools. The federal schedule includes both routes; ordinary SOLO only sends groups I and II.
• The published assessment rounds are live, without a recorded audition. Private filming and recording of performances and feedback sessions are prohibited.
