The historic competition included Renaissance, Baroque, and Contemporary repertoire, continuo, improvisation, and performance of a Bach concerto with the Lyra Baroque Orchestra (Jacques Ogg, Artistic Director). Twelve competitors were admitted over a year ago from an international application pool; due to COVID, the competition was postponed to August 2021.
