For the first time in the history, the International Henryk Wieniawski Violin Competition enables listeners to follow the event live via mobile application.
Users are given access to all competition performances and may watch them in full HD on smartphones (iOS and Android), smart TV or internet browsers. The application includes also an updated schedule of auditions and information on the jury, participants, accompanying pianists and orchestras, as well as the awards. It also helps tracing the history of the Competition, which was first organized in 1935.
Available in Polish and English, the "Wieniawski" application can be downloaded free of charge. Its technological structure was granted by the Fryderyk Chopin Institute which developed its own application last year on the occasion of the 17th Fryderyk Chopin International Piano Competition. The project to stream the Competition performances is a joint collaboration between the Polish Radio, TVP Kultura and the National Audiovisual Institute.
The Competition is co-organized by the Institute of Music and Dance.
