Within the framework of the 2009 Violin Competition, four members of the jury will share their artistry and their knowledge with young violinists who have already reached an advanced standard of training, whether or not they are candidates in the Competition. These master classes, which are open to the public, will be held in the auditorium of the MIM.
REGISTRATION CONDITIONS

These classes are open to all violinists who are under 32 years of age and who have reached an advanced standard.

For each work proposed, participants must provide a score for the accompanying pianist and the teacher.
Candidates in the Competition:
Candidates in the Queen Elisabeth Competition for violinists 2009 may also register for the master classes. Should a candidate qualify as one of the twelve finalists, his or her participation in the master classes will be cancelled automatically.
