Nouvelles Étoiles International Music Compétition

Nouvelles Étoiles is an international competition based in Paris, open to all instruments (classical, baroque, jazz, and folk), soloists, chamber ensembles, choirs, and orchestras. There is no age limit for singers, and instrumental categories are open to musicians aged 3 to 26.

Participants are evaluated by an international jury, receive diplomas and awards, and may be invited to perform in concerts with orchestra or ensemble in Paris and abroad, as well as to join masterclasses and conferences with jury members and guest artists.

Beyond the online competition, Nouvelles Étoiles organizes Festivals, Concerts, and Winter & Summer Academies in France, featuring orchestral sessions and the creation of international ensembles. These programs are open not only to laureates, but also to all musicians, teachers, and families wishing to experience music in a warm, creative community.
