International Competition Philip Jones  
 

The « Conseil Départemental pour la Musique et la Culture de Haute-Alsace » created the first issue of the international Philip Jones competition in 1995. This cycle of biennial international contests is devoted to the trumpet, the tuba and the euphonium, the trombone, the horn and the brass ensembles. It is mentioned among the greatest competitions organised in Europe and it is a member of the World Federation of International Music Competitions (FMCIM).

Bernard Soustrot, Michel Becquet and the lamented Philip Jones, were successively president of the jurys, composed of the most eminent specialists in the international music world.

The prizewinners, selected through candidates from all over the world, have an excellent level, even exceptional.

The Mulhouse Symphony Orchestra accompanies the finales and the final concerts.

For every contest, thanks to the financial support of the “Conseil Général du Haut-Rhin” (state’s representative), the CDMC commissions new and original works to renowned composers, in order to expand the soloist repertory for brass.

During the competitions, the CDMC invites great soloists and ensembles such as B.Bowman, S.Mead, B. Soustrot, M. Becquet, F.Thuillier, I.Milhiet, the Göteborg Brass Band, the London Brass, Epsilon, the German Brass, the Canadian Brass.

The edition of September 2005 is devoted to the trumpet and brass quintet.
