This year's six finalists will perform on December 10th and 11th with conductor Alexander Humala and the Szymanowski Academic Symphony — and streamed LIVE here on The Violin Channel

 

The inaugural competition was founded in honor of Polish composer Mieczysław Weinberg — whose legacy was only fully discovered recently after a successful revival concert series at the 2010 at the Bregenz Festival in Austria.

"Today, Mieczysław Weinberg is regarded as one of the finest Polish composers of the 20th century, now finally held inregard along side our great Karol Szymanowski, Witold Lutosławski, Henryk Mikołaj Górecki, and Krzysztof Penderecki," Professor Szymon Krzeszowiec, Head of Strings at the Szymanowski Academy of Music, has told The Violin Channel.

"I strongly encourage all young violinists from all around the world to explore the timeless and profound of Weinberg's music — it's certain to strike your innermost sensitive chord, as it has ours," he said.

Open to violinists of any nationality born between 1990 and 2002, this year's first prize winner will be awarded €5,000.

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