Edition 2025 — Ibla Grand Prize

The 34th edition of the Ibla Grand Prize took place in Ragusa Ibla from July 5 to 11, 2025, under the artistic direction of Maestro Salvatore Moltisanti. For one week, the Baroque district turned into an open-air festival: every evening, from 9 pm to 11 pm, rehearsals by young international talents became free concerts in five locations in the historic center. The winners of this edition will participate in the gala evening of the 35th edition, scheduled for May 6, 2026, at Carnegie Hall in New York.

Ibla Grand Prize 2025 — 34th Edition

From July 5 to 11, 2025, Ragusa Ibla hosted the 34th edition of the international music competition organized by the IBLA Foundation. Every evening, from 9 pm to 11 pm, young contestants performed in five evocative locations in the Baroque district: the central Piazza Pola, the Church of San Vincenzo Ferreri, the Teatro Donnafugata, the Sala Falcone-Borsellino, and, starting July 7, the courtyard of Palazzo Ottaviano Bruno.

The week also featured two special events: on July 8, a charity concert for a mission in Madagascar at Palazzo Donnafugata, and on July 9, a musical tribute in the new Parco Alessandro Licitra. An international jury determined the winners, who were invited to bring their talent to the Ibla Foundation's stages around the world.
