VC LIVE | The World's Biggest Stage Competition

Watch the Final Round of The World's Biggest Stage Competition

VOTING HAS CLOSED AS OF MONDAY SEPTEMBER 26, 2022!

We're coming to you from the Final Round of The World's Biggest Stage Competition (formerly known as the "Getting to Carnegie" Competition).

We recently spoke with competition founder Julian Gargiulo, "the pianist with the hair," for an inside look at the rebranded initiative.

Four cello finalists, Gaeun Kim, Johannes Gray, Ayoun Alexandra Kim, and Caterina Isaia will premiere competition founder Julian's newly composed Cello Sonata, entitled, "The Time Between Moments." Each cellist will perform a randomly assigned movement from the work.

In addition to receiving USD $5,000, the winner will be the featured at the 19th Water Island Music Festival, in St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands.

Voting will be an equal aggregate of the following: a jury consisting of previous "Getting to Carnegie" winners and everyone listening online.

All movements are from Julian Gargiulo's newly composed Cello Sonata, "The Time Between Moments."
