göttingen händel competition 2022

Since 2017, the göttingen händel competition has been focusing on fostering young talent while closely integrating the competition’s content with the Festival’s motto. With New Horizons both audience and jury can expect something exciting again this year. Thanks to its strong partners, distinguished jury, and attractive prizes, the competition has become a major part of the Festival, bringing artists and early music lovers to Göttingen in May to hear Handel’s music. In 2022, the competition will be expanded to include the special “Music and Space” prize.
