The eighth International Violin Competition “Vasco Abadjiev” will take place in Sofia from 20 to 23 November, attracting record interest. The organizers from the UNESCO Club “Leonardo da Vinci” – Sofia are delighted to have received 32 applications from 14 countries, including Italy, Romania, Germany, Russia, Denmark, Israel, Poland, South Korea, Japan, China, and several other nations known for their strong musical traditions.

The competition is open to violinists from all countries and nationalities, provided that they have not reached the age of 30 by the time the event takes place. In this way, it not only pays tribute to one of the brilliant Bulgarian musicians but also creates opportunities for young talents - the future of classical music.
