Gustav Mahler Conducting Competition

The Gustav Mahler Conducting Competition is one of the most important music competitions of its kind worldwide and is held in Bamberg, Germany. Conductors no older than 35 years may enter.

The competition was founded by the Bamberg Symphony Orchestra, with the idea of helping young conductors at the start of their conducting careers. The first prize includes a cash prize and engagements with several orchestras.

It started in 2004 with Gustavo Dudamel's decisive win and since then has taken place every three years.

The Second Bamberg Symphony Orchestra Gustav Mahler Conducting Competition took place on 23–28 April 2007 at Sinfonie an der Regnitz, Joseph-Keilberth-Saal, Bamberg.

The 3rd competition took place in Bamberg, Germany, from 26 February to 7 March 2010.

From 7 to 14 June 2013 the Bamberg Symphony held The Mahler Competition for the fourth time. 407 young conductors applied to compete.

From 6 to 13 May 2016 the Bamberg Symphony held The Mahler Competition for the fifth time. Out of 381 applicants from 64 countries, 14 candidates were invited to Bamberg, 11 male and 3 female.
