\u201cMusic and horology echo one another \u2014 both involve excellence, high quality craftsmanship, and prestige. This sponsorship wouldn\u2019t work with just any brand, and this partnership fits very well. Having Breguet as a sponsor allowed us to really elevate the competition, not just financially, but also in terms of image and reputation. Back in the day, before Breguet came as a sponsor, we were still rough around the edges. Breguet allowed us to smooth those edges and raise our expectations,\u201d he continues.<\/p>\n
Founded in 1939, the Concours de Gen\u00e8ve holds a certain prestige amongst international musical competitions, mostly for the level of talent needed to compete, but also for the care and attention it gives its participants and winners. \u201cThere\u2019s an academic rigor to this competition that elevates these musicians, and that\u2019s in part thanks to our panel that\u2019s always made up of very notable musicians and professionals,\u201d says Christine Sayegh, President of the Foundation Board for the Concours de Gen\u00e8ve. \u201cAnd we keep up with our winners and runners-up, to make sure that even if you get second or third place, you still, rightfully so, have a chance at establishing a career,\u201d she continues.<\/div><\/div><\/div>
\u201cWinning the Concours de Gen\u00e8ve was certainly a turning point in my career,\u201d says Choi. \u201cI am receiving commissions from various festivals, competitions and ensembles and am now signed to Universal Music Korea as their \u2018Mercury Artist,\u2019 therefore having my clarinet concerto released as a digital single. In the summer of 2019, I\u2019ll be having my Korean debut as a conductor with the Bucheon Philharmonic Orchestra, as well as a French debut as a composer with the Ensemble InterContemporain.\u201d<\/div><\/div><\/div>
