The first two stages of the competition will take place online in September, according to the initial calendar, and the semifinals and finals of each section will be rescheduled for May 2021, at the Romanian Athenaeum in Bucharest. Thus, the first phase will take place between August 29 and September 20 and will include the recitals of the candidates from the first two stages of the competition, and the second phase will take place between May 12 and 23 2021 and will include the semifinals and finals of the three instruments - violin, cello and piano.
Officially launched in September 1958, as part of the first edition of the 'George Enescu' International Festival, the International Competition came as an extension of the vibration that Enescu propagated in the music world everywhere.
