The Team

The competition is organized through the ASBL Virtuoso Violon, a non-profit association founded in 2023 in Belgium. The association was originally created to run the Arthur Grumiaux International Violin Competition, and after that event concluded, we continued the work by establishing this new competition.

Our team consists of Anne-Sophie Lemaire and George Tudorache. We are based in Belgium and have previously organized the Arthur Grumiaux International Violin Competition, drawing on many years of experience within the classical music field. We follow the established practices that have shaped violin competitions for generations.

We handle both the administrative and the practical organization of the event. Communication with candidates, families, and teachers is part of our regular work, and formal requirements — including parental consent for young participants — are handled through standard procedures.

Our aim is straightforward: to maintain a well-run event that reflects the tradition and values of classical music competitions.
