Accompanists will not be provided. However, QNMC can recommend a list of accompanists who can practice and perform with the participants upon their own
arrangements prior to the competition and during. Please get in touch with the office if you need help finding an accompanist.
The certificate of participation will be immediately handed over to every participant after their performance.
While we try to facilitate people as far as possible, it is not always feasible to facilitate every request for a time change. If you have a serious difficulty however, please let us know by contacting the office at +974 6608 9033 or by email at info@qnmc.org and we will do our best to accommodate you.
