Who will be the next great voice of the cello? Be among the first to discover the three young musicians who emerge at the top of the 2026 Buchet International Cello Competition, selected from more than 100 applicants from around the world. Just days after the results are announced, the three laureates take the Flagey Studio 1 stage for a recital that offers something increasingly rare: the chance to hear exceptional young artists at the very beginning of what could become remarkable international careers.

The three laureates—and the programme they choose to reveal themselves to Brussels—will be announced here on the evening of 27 October. Reserve your seat now and come discover tomorrow’s leading cellists before you know their names.
