SVF COMPETITION
The festival competition was formed as an opportunity for violinists all over the world and of all age groups to showcase their abilities and talents. The competition also aims to nurture these deserving prize winners into fully fledged professional musicians. Many of our past festival competition winners have moved on to become major international competition prize winners, and we strive to carry on that legacy.
