Violin Concerto Festival
The Violin Concerto Festival marks an exciting new chapter in the festival’s history, as it expands for the first time to include strings. This five-day program is devoted entirely to the art of the violin, bringing together a distinguished international faculty and talented participants from around the world for an immersive experience of masterclasses, orchestral collaboration, and public performance.
Hosted at the Conservatoire de Courbevoie in Paris, the festival provides a rare opportunity for violinists to perform with a professional orchestra under expert guidance. Open to students of all levels and ages, there is no selection process or audition required. Participants are encouraged to focus on artistic growth, confidence, and musical communication in a supportive and inspiring environment.
Each participant will receive:
- 3 individual masterclasses with the international faculty
- 40 minutes of orchestra rehearsal and performance time
- A professional recording with world class music producer Mr Chris Craker
Faculty: Vadim Tchijik (Artistic Director), Yury Yevich, Joan Kwuon, Eduard Schmieder, David Früwirth, Boris Borgolotto, and Rebekka Hartmann.
