Velkomst
Welcome
Carl Nielsen Internationale Violinkon kurrence er i dag en international anerkendt violinkonkurrence, som samler unge violin talenter fra hele verden til en dyst om hæder og priser.
Carl Nielsen International Violin Competi tion is today an internationally recognized violin competition, which brings together young violin talents from around the world to a battle for honor and awards.
Samtidig sikrer konkurrencen, at Carl Niel sens navn og musik gøres synlig og hørbar på internationalt plan. Med Nielsens stærke til knytning til Odense er konkurrencen derfor også med til at profilere vores by som en af Danmarks vigtige kulturbyer.
The competition ensures, that the name of Carl Nielsen and his music is made visible and audible at international level. With Nielsen’s strong attachment to Odense the competition also contributes to raise the profile of our city as one of the important cultural cities in Denmark.
Det er lykkedes at vinde den danske stjerne violinist Nikolaj Znaider til at blive præsident for dommerjuryen. Znaider, som vandt kon kurrencen i 1992, er garant for konkurrencens målsætninger om højeste kunstneriske kva litet, kombineret med åbenhed og fairness, og det er derfor med stor glæde at jeg byder Nikolaj Znaider velkommen i spidsen for Carl Nielsen Internationale Violinkonkurrence. Held og lykke til deltagerne – og velkommen til en spændende konkurrence.
Carl Nielsen

Welcome
Siden 1980 har Odense Symfoniorkester arrangeret Carl Nielsen Internationale Konkurrencer med de to klare formål at udbrede kendskabet til Carl Nielsen og hans musik og at give unge musiktalenter fra hele verden et springbræt til en international solistkarriere.
Since 1980, the Odense Symphony Orchestra has hosted the Carl Nielsen International Competitions with two clear objectives: To raise awareness of Carl Nielsen and his music and to give young talented musicians from around the world a platform to start an international solo career.
I år har vi fokuseret på at forankre konkurrencen endnu stærkere i vores nationale musikliv, hvilket vi markerer med en åbningskoncert med deltagelse af talent- og MGK elever fra det meste af Danmark. Vi har også gjort det lettere for publikum at følge konkurrencen gen nem et udvidet samarbejde med Danmarks Radio om live-streaming, radiotransmissioner og flere udsend elser på DR K. Det er vigtigere end nogensinde at lade musikken knytte bånd mellem verdens mange kulturer, og jeg byder deltagere, jurymedlemmer, andre medvirkende og ikke mindst publikum velkommen til en spændende uge i Odense. Finn Schumacker Musikchef Odense Symfoniorkester
This year we have focused on anchoring the competition even stronger in our national music scene, which we mark with an opening concert with the participation of young music students from most of Denmark. We have also made it easier for the audience to follow the competition through cooperation with the Danish Radio about live streaming, radio transmissions and multiple broadcasts on DR K. It is more important than ever to let the music make bridges between the many cultures of the world, and I welcome participants, jury members, other participants and not least the audience to an exciting week in Odense.
