ABOUT Gershwin Competition
George Gershwin International Music Competition aims to discover talent, reward brilliance, and celebrate musical artistry.
The Competition is named after George Gershwin, whose music had long been a part of the American consciousness. Truly a pioneer in his field, George Gershwin drew inspiration from European classical music, American popular music, and jazz to form a unique style that would come to define American music.
