Menuhin Competition Junior Violin Competition

What Is Menuhin Competition Junior Violin Competition?

Founded by Yehudi Menuhin, the Menuhin Competition is an international performance competition and artistic-development environment for exceptional young violinists. Its traditional Junior section has been for violinists under age 16 and has used multiple live performance rounds, juried advancement, memorized solo and accompanied repertoire, official collaborative musicians, and prizes. The organization now operates as the Swiss Fondation Concours Menuhin and says Geneva became its permanent home in 2023 through a partnership with the International School of Geneva's Centre des arts.

The organization is active, but its current public site does not publish a next competition date, application, deadline, fee, repertoire, age cutoff, format, competitor cap, travel terms, or prizes. Its laureates archive ends with the virtual Richmond 2021 edition. Older partner pages forecast an April 2026 Geneva event, but the official site does not show that event or any 2026 laureates; it would therefore be inaccurate to claim a confirmed 2026 completion or project a 2028 application. Subscribe to official updates or contact the foundation before preparing an application.
