The Berlin Composition Prize 2025 (Piano Trio) is looking for bold voices, fresh sounds, and new musical ideas. We want to hear music that crosses boundaries – stylistically, culturally, emotionally. If you compose because you have to – this is for you.
Berlin invites you. No boxes. No limitations. Just your art.

Two development prizes: 1,000 EUR each

You’ve written a piece for piano trio (violin, cello, piano) that has not been performed or published
You want your music to be professionally premiered in Berlin
An international jury of composers, musicians and artists will listen, read and discuss openly and attentively.
