Hello! Looking for outstanding violin performances? Welcome to the official International Henryk Wieniawski Violin Competition youtube channel!
Welcome to the Henryk Wieniawski Musical Society's YouTube channel. We are the organizer of the International Henryk Wieniawski Violin Competition in Poznań, Poland.
Henryk Wieniawski occupies a special place in the history of violin-playing. First and foremost as a brilliant virtuoso whom contemporary critics and music-lovers regarded as the re-incarnation of Nicolò Paganini. Second, as a composer whose works have stood the test of time and have featured prominently in the literature of the violin and in the repertoire of many leading violinists. Third, as a teacher at two of Europe’s celebrated music academies. Finally as an exciting and flamboyant personality.
