Kloster Schöntal International Violin Competition Announces Live Round Participants

The 19th edition of the competition will be streamed live on The Violin Channel from August 27 — September 4, 2022

More than 30 violinists qualified for the 2022 Kloster Schöntal International Violin Competition, to be held in Kloster Schöntal (Baden-Württemberg), Germany, from August 27 – September 4, 2022.

To kick off the live rounds of the competition on Saturday, August 27, 2022, Daniil Bulayev, first prize winner of the 2nd age group and winner of the Reinhold-Würth Förderpreis in 2019, and Robert Einenkel, 3rd prize winner of the 3rd age group in 2019, will perform with the Concertino Ensemble. The program includes The Summer and The Autumn by Antonio Vivaldi and The Seasons by Astor Piazzolla.

In addition, the jury and the pianists will be introduced for this year's competition and a draw will be held to determine who will have to start the auditions on Sunday morning.

Then, the participants in three age groups will face the international jury of experts — which includes Cristina Goicea, Rebekka Hartmann, Axel Strauss, Michael Veimann, and Florian Leonhard. The Jury President is the competition's founder Prof. Petru Munteanu.
