Maazel-Vilar Conductor's Competition

The Maazel-Vilar Conductor's Competition is a conducting competition founded in 2001.[1] Reflecting the shared vision of its founders, conductor Lorin Maazel and philanthropist Alberto Vilar, the competition aims to give exceptional opportunities for career development to young talented conductors.[2]

The competition is an international event. In 2001–02 it held six regional rounds worldwide, leading up to a final round at the Carnegie Hall in New York City in September 2002. At each stage, the candidates did not compete against each other for ranking by a jury, but rather were measured against a standard set to demonstrate outstanding potential. This open competitive process, under the guidance of Lorin Maazel, was designed to educate all of the participants about the breadth of skills a successful conductor must have and the rigorous training required to master those skills.[3]

gollark: I can mostly only think of food and water as immediately problematic things, and it's still a lot easier to import help when on the ground.
gollark: Terrestrial housing gets breathable air and some degree of temperature control "for free".
gollark: It'll probably be a while before there are actually space habitats that big, and more having to be done technologically probably means more failures.
gollark: If they fail on a space habitat, I probably die horribly and can't easily get help from somewhere nearby.
