One of the most demanding and also one of the most widely publicised international competitions, the Queen Elisabeth Competition, ever since its creation in 1937, has established itself as a springboard for young violinists, pianists, singers, and cellists on the threshold of an international career. The Competition aims, above all, to serve as an intermediary between those young virtuosos and the world’s great musical venues. All the competition rounds and the closing concert are broadcast live on RTBF & VRT.

The prime time hit game show about classical music that is already a massive hit on DR2 ever since 2016! Two teams of musical experts battle it out, trying to be the best at a series of fun, unique and testing rounds. Who will be the first to identify music played backwards? How many notes do you need to identify a piece of music? And which piece has inspired a pop tune? The show is full of fun and facts. It has tripled the audience in the prime time slot, and 10th season is coming up! What’s The Score typically has five rounds and a final. Every round has been designed to be both fun as well as factual. Each one has a formatted signature challenge and then a follow up question of musical knowledge ranging from historical to gossip knowledge about pieces, composers and trends. Every round has been designed to test and show different aspects of classical music: How to identify songs by the rhythm, by fewest notes, by instruments. How to find different kinds of mistakes placed in the music. And how the inspiration of the classical music is still found in modern pop tunes. There are eight different rounds to chose from with each it’s own characteristic. And because classical music is so international by default, a lot of the questions can easily be re-used.
