In Karol Szymanowski’s music, the violin is a symbol of friendship and love. The composer was a long-time close friend of the ingenious virtuoso Paweł Kochański, who became a professor at the New York Juilliard School after leaving Poland. Kochański inspired Szymanowski and accompanied him on his way to creating his two phenomenal violin concertos.
Love was what Szymanowski felt for his ‘chosen people’, as he would call the Górale people of the Podhale region. It is the violin that reflects the echoes of their music best. The Karol Szymanowski competition searches for violinists who are able to express the sense of such love and friendship best.
In the 2nd stage, the jury will have an extremely difficult task, they will have to choose the best 5 violinists who will perform in the final stage.
Admission to the competition auditions is free. Auditions are held in 2 sessions:
1st session from 10:00-14:15
2nd session from 16:15-18:15
at the Szabelski's Hall at the Karol Szymanowski Academy of Music in Katowice.
