Dear Friends,

we are getting ready for our competition. We are very happy, that all violists will be playing in a beautiful Martinu hall at the Academy of Performing Artst (where we are based this year). We also do our best to keep up all hygienic and safety conditions so all our participants, staff, jury member and guests will be safe. We will have disinfection and facemasks for everybody (don´t worry you don´t have to play in it:-) and we have rooms big enough to keep the social distance as well. We are so much looking forward to hear live music again, so don´t forget that the application deadline is already in 10 days. See you in Prague!
