HOSTED BY:

This year's revised edition of the competition will be held from September 27 to October 10 and will be streamed LIVE here on The Violin Channel

 

Open to international violinists born between October 10, 1989, and September 26, 2005, this year's first prize winner will receive the €30,000 "Joseph Joachim" Award and the three-year use of a 1765 Giovanni Battista Guadagnini fine violin — on a generous loan from the Fritz Behrens Foundation.

In addition, each of the 2021 four finalists, including the first prize winner, will receive €10,000 and will have earned the right to bear the title "Laureate of the Joseph Joachim International Violin Competition Hannover."

"The jury's job this year is extremely difficult," Co-Artistic Directors Antje Weithass and Oliver Wille this week told The Violin Channel. 

"We're asked our young musicians, in the challenging first two rounds to show us all aspects and varieties of their musical talent," they added. "Obviously there has to be a certain technical standard to fulfill and survive the first two weeks, but in the end, if the performances don't touch and reach hearts and minds, one cannot and should not win here in Hannover. At least, that's what we are hoping for!"

The 2021 international jury comprises Carolin Widman (Chairwoman), Eleonore Büning, Ana Chumachenco, Suyoen Kim, Robert Levin, Andrew Manze, Christine Schäfer, Ulf Wallin, Zohrab Tedevosyan and Donald Weilerstein.

SEMI-FINAL RECITAL & QUARTET ROUND — SESSION FOUR

 

In the second semi-final component, each candidate will present a 60-70 minute recital that they have curated themselves inspired by the following quote from prominent German author Carolin Emcke's 'How we desire':

"Home is where we start from, and it is no more and no less than that. It is where we begin, where we set off from. It’s not where we stay; it’s not somewhere that accompanies us unchanged. When we set off on our wanderings in pursuit of our desire, we are driven by a restless and a sense of exile to search for another home, another homeland.” 

The only requirement is to include a previously undisclosed Haydn String Quartet movement witin the recital, to be played with members of the Kuss String Quartet - however with the first violin part sheet music will be provided to the candidate only approximately 40 hours in advance of the performance.

For the second presentation of the preliminary opening round for this year’s jury, held between 30 September and 2 October, each candidate will present a maximum 35-minute second recital comprising a complete Beethoven or Schubert Sonata work for Violin & Piano — coupled with a bravura piece for violin and piano or solo violin of the candidate’s own choosing.

Ten of the 31 opening round candidates will progress to the next Semi-Final stage of the competition. The announcement will be made on 2 October at 10:00 am (ET).

A number of new, unorthodox test elements have been added to the final stages of this year's competition. For the two-part Semi-Final round, candidates will be asked to play and lead two movements of a Mozart Violin Concerto with the Camerata Bern and then serve as the ensemble's acting Concertmaster for the performance of Bartok's "Divertimento".

There will also be a new requirement to play a 60-minute chamber music recital with members of the Kuss String Quartet, as part of the Semi-Final stage — including performing the first violin part of a previously undisclosed Haydn String Quartet, with the sheet music provided to the candidate only 40 hours in advance of the performance.

Previous winners of the competition include soloist Nemanja Radulovic, New York Philharmonic Concertmaster Frank Huang, Chicago Symphony Concertmaster Robert Chen, current competition Co-Artistic Director and teaching faculty member at the Hanns Eisler Conservatory and the Kronberg Academy Antje Weithaas — and VC Artists Timothy Chooi and Alexandra Conunova.

As the competition's official media and broadcast partner, all rounds of this year's competition will be streamed LIVE here on The Violin Channel and will be available for your playback.
