INTERNATIONAL MAX ROSTAL COMPETITION FOR VIOLIN AND VIOLA Berlin, Germany
WFIMC Member since 2008
Max Rostal played an important role in the history of violin playing, both as performer and as teacher. Many internationally known violinists over several generations were students of Max Rostal. In 1991, a competition was created in his name in his adopted hometown of Bern, Switzerland. Initially hosted by the Bern Conservatory, and alternately held for violin and viola, since 2009 it is held at the Berlin University of the Arts (UdK Berlin) for violin and viola simultaneously. Winners of the last competition in 2024 were Benjamin Günst, Varvara Vasylieva and YiWei Gu (Violin) as well as Kyungsik Shin, Brian Isaacs and Marina Kosaka (Viola).
