Finalists Announced at Poland's Wajnberg International Violin Competition

This year's competition is being held from December 4 - 12 at the Karol Szymanowski Academy of Music, in Katowice, and is being streamed live here on The Violin Channel

 

The 2021 Mieczysław Wajnberg International Violin Competition has announced the six candidates advancing to the final round.

The competition was founded in honor of Polish composer Mieczysław Weinberg, whose legacy was discovered after a revival concert series at the 2010 Bregenz Festival in Austria. Today, he is regarded as one of the greatest Polish composers of the 20th century, alongside Karol Szymanowski, Witold Lutosławski, Henryk Mikołaj Górecki, and Krzysztof Penderecki.

 

The final round candidates include:

  • Eimi Wakui (Japan)

  • Christine Bernsted (Denmark)

  • Magdalena Sypniewska (France)

  • Takako Yumiba (Japan)

  • Dmitry Serebrennikov (Russia)

  • Sara Dragan (Poland)

 

Open to violinists of any nationality born between 1990 and 2002, the competition offers the first prize winner €5,000.

All rounds will stream live here on The Violin Channel.

The 2021 jury comprises Szymon Krzeszowiec (Chairman), Andreas Vierziger, Bartłomiej Nizioł, Maria Sławek, Aleksander Trostiansky, and VC Artist Jennifer Pike.
