Morocco Philharmonic Orchestra International Music Competition

Created in March 2001 by the Founding President Mr. Farid Bensaïd, the Morocco Philharmonic Orchestra International Music Competition is aimed at musicians whose training is already confirmed and who are ready to start an international career.

 

The 22nd edition of the Competition will be dedicated to the cello, and will be held from 30 March to 4 April 2026.

 

If the main objective of a competition is to help young musicians above all in the launching of an international career, the idea of ​​the Morocco Philharmonic Orchestra arose, at the same time, from the desire to share with listeners the passion for a music that transcends borders, and the desire to gather in Rabat and Casablanca talents from around the world in a competition that combines technicality, talent and emotion.
