Hannover - Joseph Joachim Violin Competition

The competition supports highly talented young violinists on their way to success on the international concert stage. We are looking for inquisitive minds who have perfect command of their instrument and are at the same time humble servants of great composers and their scores, young artists who courageously strive for individuality and make bold musical statements with the violin, musicians whose voices evoke deep emotions and display an extraordinary degree of versatility. The demands on young musicians are constantly changing - today more than ever. 

The Joseph Joachim Violin Competition offers them the opportunity to meet these demands under ideal conditions. With a demanding repertoire and top-class artistic partners, the participants present themselves to the audience, the jury and internationally renowned concert organizers in a total of five rounds. Two eventful weeks in Hanover provide plenty of practical experience, new artistic perspectives and, finally, lots of support - both financial and non-material. The competition is known for its unique combination of the highest standards and a warm, personal atmosphere.
