The 6th International Song Competition in Sofia gives young singers and pianists the possibility to demonstrate their musicianship and artistic maturity. 

Candidates must compete as a Duo Voice – Piano. It is the aim of the competition to discover an outstanding lied-duo, to help young singers and pianists to find international recognition, and hopefully to create a new public for the song as an art form.  



The 6th International Lied Duo Competition,
Duo Voice – Piano will be held from May 3rd to 5th, 2019 in Sofia, Bulgaria. 

Founded in 2009, this competition is one of the younger competitions of its kind. It is held every two years and dedicated to a different lied composer (2009- Joseph Haydn, 2011 - Gustav Mahler, 2013 – Hugo Wolf, 2015 – W.A. Mozart und Alexander Zemlinsky, 2017 – R.Strauss).
