The Monte-Carlo Music Masters [1] is a classical music competition held every year in different nominations: piano, voice and violin, at the Opéra de Monte-Carlo in Monaco under the High Patronage of Prince Albert II.
History
editThe World Music Masters competition was first held in Nice in 1989. Its founder Jean-Marie Fournier [2] sought to create a unique competition with a limited number of participants who had already participated as finalists in other international competitions. Faced with a huge range of competitions and a large number of award a given, Jean-Marie Fournier decided to create a competition based on different criteria with only one winner. After the successful holding of the first World Music Masters Competition, it was decided to host the competition in Monaco under the name of the Monte-Carlo Piano Masters. Since 1993 , the competition has been held under the High Patronage of His Serene Highness Rainier III. Also since this year, the competition has been broadcast by French television channel France 3.

In 1997, the competition was opened in a new nomination for voices, and in 2004 in the nomination for violinists. Since then, each year has been dedicated to one of these three disciplines - “Monte-Carlo Piano Masters” [3], “Monte-Carlo Voice Masters” [4] and “Monte Carlo Violin Masrers” [5]. In 2000 Prince Rainier III lent his name to the main award, endowing it with prize money (30.000€) [6] from his own funds. Since 2001, the competition has benefited from a subsidy from the principality’s government and, since 2003, Banque Safra. Since 2006 the ”Monte-Carlo Music Masters” has been held under the High Patronage of H.S.H. Prince Albert II. [7] [8].
