Musical goals

To present a rich competition program of the most beautiful violin music from the baroque period until today, that in four rounds (violin solo, violin and piano x2, violin and orchestra) enables the participants to express the full range of their artistic personalities.
To organize a unique violin festival, with an exciting series of 19 concerts that move from strength to strength until the highlight of the event: the Gala-Final with the ORF Radio-Symphony Orchestra in the Great Hall of the Vienna Konzerthaus or Musikverein.
To enable school children to attend the competition’s concerts and thus to make these excursions an integral part of school music education in Vienna an its vicinity.
To choose prize winners of the International Fritz Kreisler Competition who on their concert tours will inspire audiences, beyond their virtuosity, with their interpretation, artistic personality, musical poetry and stylistic awareness.
