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.
