The artists who will record and, whenever possible, perform both the concert and the recording will be selected according to the awarded works. The fact of mentioning some of the artists who have worked with us does not imply their availability for the realization of the award.

02. The awarded works will be performed, whenever possible, in a hall of recognized prestige in Madrid where the Non Profit Music Foundation performs concerts, such as the Chamber Hall of the National Auditorium, the Auditorium of the Cibeles Palace, the Conde Duque Auditorium, choosing the most appropriate for the moment.

03. This performance will be recorded to be presented for television broadcast by Radio Televisión Española, although it is reserved the right to select and broadcast it on the date it deems appropriate.
