VIII Queen Elisabeth Music Competition

The eighth edition of the Queen Elisabeth Music Competition took place in 1957 and was the second one devoted to composition. A specific format in two categories was implanted, and Polish composer Michał Spisak, who had won the inaugural edition, successfully defended the title in the chamber orchestra category.
