The World’s Most Talented Young Violinists Return to Poznań!
At the beginning of October the music world’s eyes (and ears as a matter of fact) will turn to Poznań where the 16th international Henryk Wieniawski Violin Competition will take place.
The Wieniawski violin competition is one of the most prestigious such contests in the world, having been organised every five years since 1935 (with the exception of World War II). This makes it the oldest competition for violinists in Europe. The event is named after Henryk Wieniawski, the 19th century Polish virtuoso violinist and composer, regarded as one of the greatest players of the instrument in history. The Poznań-based competition is available to violinists under the age of 30.
