VC LIVE | "Violins&Soul" Salon Music Competition 2025

Tune in on June 29th at 1 PM (ET) to watch the final round of this year's competition

We're coming to you from Vienna, Austria, for the 2025 "Violins&Soul” Salon Music Violin Competition. In 2022, the AMADEUS Festival Vienna launched a competition that focuses solely on the genre of salon music. The competition returns for a second edition this year, featuring finalists Lorenz Karls, Audrey Park, and Siyi Li. 

The three finalists will be invited to Vienna to fully immerse themselves in the AMADEUS Festival Vienna. They will stay at the Boarding House of AMADEUS International School Vienna and have the opportunity to participate in the Janoska Style Workshop on June 25, led by the Janoska Ensemble. Each finalist will also receive a full festival pass, granting them and their families access to all concerts and events.

The winner of this year's competition will be given a cash award of €5,000, alongside a two year loan of a 1709 Antonio Stradivari violin from the Goh Family Collection.
