In brief The Long-Thibaud Competition was founded more than 80 years ago in 1943 by pianist Marguerite Long and violinist Jacques Thibaud. Taking the discovery of young performers very much to heart, Marguerite Long donated her entire fortune to enable the implementation of the first competition and ensure its longevity. Many patrons have continued her action to this day. The first edition took place in 1943, in the midst of the conflict, as Marguerite Long wanted to give hope to young French instrumentalists under the occupation. The First Prizes went to pianist Samson François and violinist Michèle Auclair.
