The Mexican Council for Culture and Arts and the
Government of the State of Michoacan, through the Conservatorio de las Rosas, invite you to the
Sixth Carlos Prieto International Cello Competition organized every three years with the purpose of
stimulating cello activity, and attracting the world’s attention toward the Cello in Ibero America
(Latin America, Spain and Portugal).
The singularity of this competition is to promote
the enrichment of the cello repertoire and to attract the attention of cellists to Ibero American
compositions, by including a required work now being specially composed for the Competition by an
important Iberoamerican composer, in addition to the standard cello
repertoire.
