Zwickau
The towns of Auerbach/Vogtl. and Zwickau revived the tradition of this competition, unique in the region and in Saxony, and successfully held it for the first time under a new name in 2024 through their joint cooperation. 30 participants from Saxony, Bavaria, Thuringia and the Czech Republic took part in the competition. A concert with the "Rosentaler Ensemble" in St. Laurentius Church in Auerbach enriched the competition weekend. In 2026, Zwickau is to host the 2nd Saxon Recorder Competition from 14 to 15 November. Based on the experience of the 2024 competition, it is to be further developed carefully. A workshop will be offered for participants, and the competition is now to be open to 4 age groups. As a supplementary offering, an exhibition by instrument makers and music publishers is planned. The musical supporting programme is once again to include a concert on 14 November 2025, as well as the winners' concert on 15 November 2025.
