Međunarodno natjecanje mladih glazbenika Sonus manifestacija je koja se održava svake godine sa sudionicima iz cijele države i regije, te uglednim hrvatskim i, od 2017.godine, stranim glazbenim pedagozima kao članovima Ocjenjivačkoga suda. Suorganizator natjecanja i domaćin  je Glazbena škola Alberta Štrige Križevci. Mjesto je to na koje se natjecatelji i njihovi mentori rado vraćaju i koje je izvrsna pozornica glazbenih ideja, emocija i glazbene budućnosti. Ovo je natjecanje specifično po tome što svaki natjecatelj osim brojčane dobiva i opisnu ocjenu koju organizator šalje nastavniku/mentoru. Opisna je ocjena konkretna pohvala ili primjedba i možda pokoji naputak objektivnog i dobronamjernog slušatelja, a sve u cilju poboljšanja i napredovanja u radu nastavnika/mentora i odgoju mladih glazbenika.

Another specific detail about this competition is that this is the first competition in Croatia where the young musicians of the primary school age also compete in the discipline of percussions. The disciplines piano, solfeggio and percussions are represented every year, whereas all the other instrumental disciplines alternate every two years.

Međunarodno natjecanje mladih glazbenika Sonus od 2018. godine uvršteno je u program gradskih manifestacija Grada čime je Grad Križevci postao ponosni pokrovitelj Natjecanja.

A total of 24 ensembles participated in the disciplines of small chamber ensembles (duo and trio), small chamber ensembles (quartet and quintet), large chamber ensembles, and orchestras. A unique feature of the Festival is that the competitive segment is open to amateur ensembles and orchestras affiliated with associations, not just schools.
