IBLA is an elite international music competition located in the Sicilian city of Ragusa-Ibla. It showcases musical talent of the highest caliber. This is the 26th year of this competition.
Founded by Radford University, this competition began in 1981 to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Hungarian composer Bela Bartók's birth. Originally the Bartók Competition, it later expanded to honor Russian composers Dmitri Kabalevsky and Sergei Prokofiev. It now honors the memory of the great pianist and musician, Bartok's protege and Radford Competition jury chairman for decades.
