Memories of Violin 2024 🎻❤️

As 2024 draws to a close, we would like to thank you for your steadfast attendance during the Violin Competition. Your encouragement and enthusiasm have given these young artists wings! To end 2024 on a high note, you can relive the emotion of the Violin Competition in this short video.

The 2025 Piano Competition is just around the corner, and it is looking promising, with no fewer than 289 applications received from all over the world. The video preselection round will take place at the end of January.

We look forward to discovering the new generation of young piano virtuosos with you again in May, after an edition in 2021 that had to be held behind closed doors.

Wishing you a year full of joy, kindness, and unforgettable memories,
The team of the Queen Elisabeth Competition
