The Menuhin Competition and Richmond Symphony have decided to present a virtual version of this year’s event in May.

It’s not untenable if you hold it in Texas.
It was already held in Texas – Austin in 2014 (pre-Covid of course).
I attended the Competition in Austin Texas. It was held at the University where one of the Jury is Professor there, Brian Lewis. It was a wonderful opportunity to hear gifted violinists in the early rounds and in the semi final and finals with Orchestra.
And he had kids in the competition…..Thank you for proving my point.
Not with a ban on international travel.
I’m in Richmond and getting this competition was such a coup for the city. As we’ve all learned over the past year of ‘virtual’ culture, it’s just not the same thing at all. I wish they had pushed the date back again.
Yawn….It’s a fixed competition anyway….They all are….moving on…

Draconian lockdowns make a live competition untenable.
Menuhin jury member Joji Hattori has been invited to be a jury member of Spivakov Competition, and M. Spivakov has strong ties to Maria? The very fact that this happens, isn’t it just as unfair as the professors like Bron and Kuschnir who outright try to advance their own students in competitions? Some, not all, of their students play well too, so why are they ousted from international competitions, and yet this is justified?
