16th International Henryk Wieniawski Violin Competition
Henryk Wieniawski International Violin Competition is held in honour of the composer and virtuoso Henryk Wieniawski. This oldest violin competition in the world has been organised by the Henryk Wieniawski Music Society of Poznań since 1952, although its history dates back even further to 1935, when it was first held in Warsaw. The competition is one of Poland's most celebrated music events. It draws young virtuosos from around the world, providing them with an opportunity to appear on stage before prominent jurors, audiences and the media.
