ODESA INTERNATIONAL VIOLIN COMPETITION Odesa, Ukraine
WFIMC Member since 2022
The Odesa International Violin Competition was founded in 2018 by Ukrainian violinist Andrii Murza in order to preserve the memory of the great violin school of the city of Odesa. The formation of violin music education in Odesa is closely linked to the activities of the outstanding violin teacher Peter Stolyarsky. In 1933 he founded the first specialized music school in the USSR for gifted children. The educational experience of Stolyarsky yielded brilliant results. His students, in particular David Oistrakh, Boris Goldstein, Nathan Milstein, Elizabeth Gilels, Mikhail Fichtenholz brought the Odesa violin school international recognition. Jacques Thibaud said: “His pedagogy is what world art should be proud of.” Prominent violinists such as Zakhar Bron, Pavel Vernikov, Rosa Fain, Dora Schwarzberg, Alexander Vinnitsky, Mikhael Vaiman, Sergey Kravchenko, Eduard Grach and many others became bright followers of the Odesa violin school. The 2025 competition will take place in Germany, in Monheim am Rhein. It is organized by Monheimer Kulturwerke GmbH, which has been the new home of the Kyiv Symphony Orchestra since 2024.
