The Queen Elisabeth Competition was founded in 1937 at the instigation of Her Majesty Queen Elisabeth of Belgium and the Belgian violinist Eugène Ysaÿe. Originally called the Eugène Ysaÿe Competition. It adopted its current name in 1951, thus paying tribute to its Honorary President and initiator. The Competition is a concours for classical musicians in Belgium for violin (1937 to present), piano (1938 to present), composition (1951-2012), voice (1988 to present), cello (2017 to present).
