An ancient Brazilian proverb says that “two heads are better than one”, that’s why for the Genève Music Band Contest – GMBC we decided to involve not only a couple of more people, but 22 international professionals belonging to the band world in order to form the Artistic Committee. For the first time, a music competition constitutes an Artistic Committee, which will collaborate with the GMBC for two years to define new and innovative ideas for the competition and its evolution over the years.
