Created in 1991, the Concours d’Interprétation Musicale de Lausanne (CIML) has, over the decades, established itself as a showcase for emerging talent and a springboard to major international stages. Driven by committed musicians, it has supported the rise of many outstanding artists while continuously adapting to the evolving musical landscape. Faithful to this spirit, the CIML is now entering a new chapter in its history.

In response to changing artistic practices and audience expectations, the competition will adopt a renewed format from 2027 onwards: more inclusive, more cross-disciplinary, open to all instruments, ensembles, and new forms of artistic expression. This evolution is conceived as a reinvention of its legacy, serving the living arts, innovation, and the next generation of musicians.

An invitation to discover together, through music, the first steps of a transformation to come: don’t miss the gala concert on June 19!
