ABOUT COMPETITION
Having three successful editions in 2011, 2013 and 2015 the International Violin Competition „Vasco Abadjiev“ contributes to the strengthening of the cultural values by focusing on the cultural self-awareness of the Bulgarians, their national self-confidence and sense of belonging to the European family – not just spatially and historically, but through their remarkable artistic achievements as part of the pantheon of the European cultural memory.
The Competition has been named after Vasco Abadjiev and that’s not by chance. He was a great Bulgarian violinist, undeservedly neglected over the past half-century. Vasco Abadjiev was a musician with global importance, bearer of one of the most sophisticated trends in violin and piano music traditions. He was a talented composer and genius performer.
