Seifert Jazz Violin Competition deadline for entrants extended to 30 April 2016 

Mary James writes: 

The second Seifert International Jazz Violin Competition will be held in
Lusławice, Poland from 24-27 August.  The competition is open to violinists,
violists and cellists of all nationalities, aged up to 38 years of age, performing
jazz and improvised music, including acoustic and electric, with prizes totalling
17,000 euros and a gala concert in Krakow.

The competition is held every two years, and alternates with the Jarek
Smietana Jazz Guitar Competition  which was inaugurated last year.
Zbigniew Seifert (1946-1979) was one of the most outstanding Polish
jazz musicians whose untimely death prevented the full development of his
musical abilities and shattered his global career.

The jury includes Mark Feldman, Josh Grossman  and
Professor Janusz M. Stefanski. The idea behind the competition is to
promote the musical heritage of Seifert as well as to help young musicians
progress onto the international stage.

Winners of the first competition in 2014, which had 63 entrants from 17
countries, have gone on to perform at festivals in Europe such as the Barcelona
Fiddle Congress. 

The organisers have extended the entrance deadline until 30 April.
