The World Federation of International Music Competitions (WFIMC) and the Ukrainian conductor Oksana Lyniv have announced that the Odesa International Violin Competition (OIVC) will be reinstated in 2025 and that this year’s edition will take place from August 17–24 in Monheim, Germany.
The Kyiv Symphony Orchestra will travel to Germany to accompany the violinists who proceed to the final round, with Lyniv conducting.
The jury will comprise Marc Bouchkov, Andrii Murza, Soyoung Yoon, Aleksey Semenenko, Mario Hossen, Rūta Lipinaitytė, Zohrab Tadevosyan, Harald Schoneweg, and Christiane von Velsen.
Due to Russian aggression, the competition’s last edition took place in 2021.
