Queen Elisabeth Competition 2024 - Violin

Queen Elisabeth Competition

As one of the most prestigious and mediatised international contests, the Queen Elisabeth Competition has been a launching pad for promising violinists, pianists, singers and cellists since 1937.

Remaining faithful to the joint project of Eugène Ysaÿe and Queen Elisabeth, the competition continues to seek versatile musical talents.

Eugène Ysaÿe taught at the Brussels Conservatoire for many years.

Representation of KCB

At Bozar, the violinists will be judged by an international jury, including Philippe Graffin, professor of violin at the Koninklijk Conservatorium Brussel (KCB). We are particularly proud that he is contributing his expertise and keen eye for young talent to this renowned international competition.

In addition, another KCB professor has strong ties to this competition. In 1980, Yuzuko Horigome won First Prize at the Queen Elisabeth Competition, marking the beginning of a highly successful international career.
