ABOUT BIMC: 

The 2024 Boston International Music Competition (BIMC) is recruiting young music talents from around the world to participate. This grand music event is jointly founded and organized by several professors from WeStar Academy of Music, Berklee College of Music, New England Conservatory of Music, and the Department of Music of Harvard University. This year, the BIMC competition has expanded its scope and will cover four categories of Voice, Piano, Strings and Other Instruments, and continues to offer a competition prize budget up to US$20,000, thanks to the WeStar Music Education Foundation. The judges of the competition are composed of world-renowned professors from top music schools and famous musicians. We currently have 18 judges this year.


The competition will attract contestants from different countries and regions, with age requirements ranging from 5 to 25 years old. Adult contestants aged 19 to 25 are divided into music major groups and non-music major groups. Last year’s competition attracted contestants from 12 different countries and regions. The youngest contestant was a 5-year-old pianist from Turkey. In previous years, the competition was reported by more than 50 medias with viewing by nearly one million people.


BIMC is not only an international music competition, but also provides a stage for teenagers and young musicians to showcase their talents. The BIMC final competition will be held live in Boston on July 6th, 2024, followed by the winners' concert, awards ceremony, and various masterclasses. This will be a wonderful music festival for young musicians to gather together to celebrate their passion and love in music in Boston, a famous cultural and artistic city! The mission of the Boston International Music Competition is to promote the beauty of music, to recruit outstanding musical talents, and to encourage young people to love music and benefit their academic development. We also hope to promote cultural exchange and understanding between different countries and regions.


Maybe you can perform an instrument well, or you have a beautiful singing voice! BIMC has prepared ready your stage, let the world witness your talent!
