The Maria Canals International Music Competition (Concurs International de Música Maria Canals Barcelona) is a music competition held yearly in the Palau de la Música Catalana, Barcelona. It was founded as a piano competion in 1954, and is regarded as the premier Spanish piano competition, but in 1964 it was expanded so other modalities could be held occasionally.[1][2]

It was founded in 1954 by the Catalan pianist Maria Remei Canals i Cendrós (1913- ) and her husband, the composer and writer Rossend Llates (1899-1973).[3] Since 1954, the Competition has welcomed over 7,000 participants from 100 countries and 180 jury members from all over the world.[4]

The Maria Canals competition, for which artists such as Joan Miró, Antoni Tàpies or Joan Clavé have created posters, was declared of public utility by the Spanish Interior Ministry in 1996.

Commentaries on the competition

  • Dans la multiplicité des Concours internationaux de Piano, il est réconfortant de constater qu’un Concours comme celui de Maria Canals à Barcelona, où le Piano n’est jugé qu’à l’échelle de la Musique, où l’instrumentiste ne peut pas oublier l’essentiel, l’interprète, qu’un tel Concours prend chaque année une ampleur grandissante. Les musiciens ne peuvent que louer et remercier Maria Canals de son initiative. Je ne peut, pour ma part, que souhaiter chaleureusement non seulement la longévité de ce Concours, mais une participation toujours plus importante à cette magnifique joute, où s’affrontent noblement et avec une probité exemplaire, les futurs artistes, qui prendront la relève de leurs aînés. - Vlado Perlemuter, 1964.[5]
  • Those of us follow the Barcelonan musical life can't forget the ascendant evolution of the Maria Canals International Music execution Competition, initiated in 1954 to turn into one most important European competition. In celebrating its 40th anniversary we can state that many performers of the highest level have arisen from the competition, such a thing having contributed to expand the prestige of the Barcelonan artistic reality. - Xavier Montsalvatge, 2004.[6]
