Three laureates – three individual paths.
We are delighted to continue accompanying Sophie Branson, Maksut Mukhitdinov and Josip Nikola Garić on their artistic journeys after ZYC — The Contest 2026.
In the coming months, individual support opportunities will take shape for the three of them – from special artistic encounters and coaching to chamber music and orchestral experiences, as well as selected performances. The focus is not on a fixed program for everyone, but on whatever meaningfully complements each artist's development.
One date is already set for all three: on 6 January 2027, you can see Sophie, Maksut and Josip at the ZYC Epiphany Concert at the ZKO-Haus. More information on the program, time and reservations will follow.
And perhaps your own journey with ZYC begins right now: registration for ZYC — The Contest 2027 is open until 31 October 2026.
