The Brunnenhof Zurich – once Switzerland's first radio studio – was the center of national radio broadcasting for almost 90 years. Today, the heritage-listed building has been carefully restored and redesigned as a music and education center. Between tradition, sound, and the future, a special place is taking shape here – soon also a stage for young musicians from Zurich Youth Classical.
While the preliminary selection for The Contest is currently underway, one thing is certain:
The Qualification Round (March 6–8, 2026) and the Final (April 17–18, 2026) will take place live at the Brunnenhof.
A place where history, education, and music resonate on – and something new begins.
