International Henryk Wieniawski Violin Competition

COMPETITION POSTPONED TO 2022 DUE TO COVID-19

With view to the coronavirus-pandemic-related decision of National Fryderyk Chopin Institute and the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage to move the 2020 edition of International Chopin Piano Competition to 2021, the Board of Henryk Wieniawski Musical Society of Poznań informs that it has begun consultations with its partners over postponing the 16th edition of International Henryk Wieniawski Violin Competition from October 2021 to 2022.

In our opinion, organisation of two largest international music competitions within a very short period of time should be highly inadvisable from the point of view of music-lovers’ interests.

To prevent cumulation of the most important music competitions in 2021, we are forced to postpone the 16th International Henryk Wieniawski Violin Competition.

The new date is: 7-21 October 2022.

The Application deadline for the 16th International Henryk Wieniawski Violin Competition is: November 15, 2021.

The Competition is open to violin players of all nationalities born between 1991 and 2006.
