The Pro Valores Association is holding the first edition of the International Composing Contest "Infinity Column", a tribute to the most important Romanian sculptor - Constantin Brâncuși, the genius from Hobița who contributed decisively to the renewal of visual language and overview in contemporary sculpture, and whose 145th birthday is celebrated in 2021.

The special feature of the competition lies in the fact that, when composing the pieces for the contest, the composers will have to be inspired by one of Constantin Brâncuși's works, thus achieving a syncretic relationship over time between fine arts and the art of sounds.

The selection of young music creators up to the age of 35 (by December 31st, 2020) will be held online.

The music sheets in .pdf format and the documents required for registration can be sent until March 15th 2021, to the e-mail address: concursulcoloanainfinitului@gmail.com <concursulcoloanainfinitului@gmail.com
