12.00 pm CEST – Inauguration of 14th International H. Wieniawski Violin Making Competition
Noriaki - on YouTube Wieniawski PL
14th International Henryk Wieniawski Violin Making Competition has started! An unusual, positively surprising support was provided by a street artist and performer Noriaki. His well-known in Poznań (and not only!) Pan Peryskop (The Watcher) has now an eye on the violins, which in number of 72 have appeared in Poznań this year. They will be judged by an international Jury composed of violin makers and violinists. We invite you to follow the coverage of the Competition, which, due to Covid-19 pandemic, is taking place without live audience participation this time. Stay tuned with us!
