Austria\u2019s most important violin competition dates back to the prize that Fritz Kreisler privately donated every year, before 1938, for the best violin student at the Vienna Music Academy.\u00a0<\/p>

1979 saw the year that the competition became international, where violinists of all nationalities were able to compete on the centre stage. Yehudi Menuhin was on the jury at this time.<\/p>

Since 1979, the International Fritz Kreisler Society typically organizes the International Fritz Kreisler Violin Competition every four years at the Vienna Musikverein or the Vienna Konzerthaus.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The Vienna City Councillor, Dr. Ursula Pasterk, presents the Fritz Kreisler Prize to the first prize winner.

A campaign subsidised by the Austrian Federal Ministry of Education enables many Viennese school pupils to attend the 19 concerts of the competition. Because of the continued diminishing income from sponsors, targeted savings are necessary through e.g., welcoming the participants into the homes of music-loving families of members of the Viennese Rotary Clubs.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

IX.\u00a0International Fritz Kreisler Violin Competition.\u00a0Once again in the Vienna Musikverein.<\/strong> Preparation proceeded as usual but another dramatic decline of sponsorship and the unexpected loss of the traditional funding from the Viennese city government made cancellation seem inevitable. However when all hope seems lost, Klaus Heymann, President of NAXOS (Beijing) allows the competition to go ahead with his personal support. A main sponsor in China, KUKE MUSIC HOLDING Ltd, was also instrumental in the survival of the competition. Thus, the competition can take place successfully. The University of Music and Performing Arts held the first and second round for the first time and the semi-final, Final I and Gala-Final were also live streamed.

The Vienna City Councillor, Dr. Ursula Pasterk, presents the Fritz Kreisler Prize to the first prize winner. Due to Vienna\u2019s strong musical heritage, the name of Fritz Kreisler, the prestigious venues (Vienna Konzerthaus, Vienna Musikverein) and to the innovative programme and jury rules, the competition becomes one of the favourite, most-subscribed international violin competitions. Prestigious cooperation partners include: the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, the Vienna Symphony Orchestra, the University of Music and Performing Arts, the Salzburg Festival, ORF, Naxos, Jeunesse-Musikalische Jugend. 2000 V.\u00a0International Fritz Kreisler Violin Competition.\u00a0In the Vienna Konzerthaus. As always, the competition is highly successful with a large number of participants. The culture department of the City of Vienna can no longer finance the Gala-Final, instead the Gerber Foundation (Zurich) provide additional funding.\u00a0 2005 VI.\u00a0International Fritz Kreisler Violin Competition.\u00a0In the Vienna Konzerthaus. Again, a highly successful event. Due to the passing of Mrs. Gerber (President of the Gerber Foundation), the Swiss funding for the Gala-Final is no longer possible. Due to this large loss in income and many increased costs, there is once again a deficit.\u00a0 2010 VII.\u00a0International Fritz Kreisler Violin Competition.\u00a0In the Vienna Konzerthaus. The quality and success prove to be very high once again. Frischenschlager manages to increase the income from sponsors. But increased costs (Konzerthaus-halls rental, graphic design and printing costs and participants accommodation) once again unfortunately lead to a deficit. 2014 VIII.\u00a0International Fritz Kreisler Violin Competition.\u00a0In the Vienna Konzerthaus. International participation remains high as well as the artistic level of the participants. A campaign subsidised by the Austrian Federal Ministry of Education enables many Viennese school pupils to attend the 19 concerts of the competition. Because of the continued diminishing income from sponsors, targeted savings are necessary through e.g., welcoming the participants into the homes of music-loving families of members of the Viennese Rotary Clubs. 2018 IX.\u00a0International Fritz Kreisler Violin Competition.\u00a0Once again in the Vienna Musikverein. Preparation proceeded as usual but another dramatic decline of sponsorship and the unexpected loss of the traditional funding from the Viennese city government made cancellation seem inevitable. However when all hope seems lost, Klaus Heymann, President of NAXOS (Beijing) allows the competition to go ahead with his personal support. A main sponsor in China, KUKE MUSIC HOLDING Ltd, was also instrumental in the survival of the competition. Thus, the competition can take place successfully. The University of Music and Performing Arts held the first and second round for the first time and the semi-final, Final I and Gala-Final were also live streamed. The competition concludes without a deficit for the first time since 2000.\u00a0 2022 The X. International Fritz Kreisler Violin Competition. A jubilee and an anniversary \u2014 the 60th year after Kreisler\u2019s passing. This means a renewed commitment to organizing the competition at the highest level and to honor the memory of Fritz Kreisler. During the year of the competition, there will be additional events such as concerts, an exhibition and a documentary film about his life.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"_uag_custom_page_level_css":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1051","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"uagb_featured_image_src":{"full":false,"thumbnail":false,"medium":false,"medium_large":false,"large":false,"1536x1536":false,"2048x2048":false,"trp-custom-language-flag":false},"uagb_author_info":{"display_name":"fritz.kreisler.competition","author_link":"https:\/\/fritzkreisler.com\/de\/author\/fritz-kreisler-competition\/"},"uagb_comment_info":0,"uagb_excerpt":"THE COMPETITION HISTORY Austria\u2019s most important violin competition dates back to the prize that Fritz Kreisler privately donated every year, before 1938, for the best violin student at the Vienna Music Academy.\u00a0 1979 saw the year that the competition became international, where violinists of all nationalities were able to compete on the centre stage.
