Jury for the competition
In view of the diverse professional opportunities for violinists, the artistic directors, Antje Weithaas and Oliver Wille, changed the composition of the jury in 2021. Since then, the competition jury has been made up of violinists as well as personalities from within the concert world. In 2024 Soprano Juliane Banse will chair the jury.

We are looking for curious minds who have perfect command of their instrument and at the same time are humble servants of great composers and their scores - young artists who boldly strive for individuality and make bold musical statements with the violin: Musicians whose voices evoke deep emotions and display an extraordinary degree of versatility.
