An event of tremendous importance comes back into the romanian music life. After 13 years from the last edition and 26 years from the first, in 1984, „Gheorghe Dima” International Music Competition comes back into the agendas of the events of it’s kind.

In the period 7-11th February 2011, the Music Academy in
Cluj-Napoca wants to bring back into the contemporary music life a competition that will have a major impact.
The landmark of the competition was the year1984, at the time being called „The intercounty festival and competition, of musical creation and performance”. If the composition discipline was present on almost every edition, the performance section was addressed to a wider variety of musicians. Therefore the competition had violin, piano, voice and wind instruments.

Continuing in the same manner, starting with 2011, the „Gheorghe Dima” International Music Competition will introduce flute and clarinet to begin with and will continue with the rest of the instruments.

For the musical life of the ’80-’90’s Romania, this national music confruntation represented a significant event through it’s resonance and dimensions, being probably considered second only to the „George Enescu” Festival.
Our aim is to transform the competition into a world renowed event and it will start in 2011, the presence in the jury of some of the most important instrumentists of our time stands as a confirmation statement.
