4th Windsor Festival International String Competition 2013In 2008, Windsor Festival launched its first international string competition in honour of Yehudi Menuhin. Menuhin, along with Ian Hunter, was one of the founding Artistic Directors of the Festival and his orchestra and family, along with many friends, were the major participants in the early years.
Since its conception O'Carroll Artist & Project Management has worked as consultant to the competition devising the evolving structure of the competition, advising on the marketing of the event to young international musicians, working with the festival to secure prizes and concert opportunities for the prizewinner and to appoint the Jury.
The competition is an important and integral addition to the Festival and through it, the Festival's vision is to build strong relationships with the next generation of performers, to ensure that talent is nurtured, encouraged and supported is being achieved.
The 4th Windsor Festival International String Competition will take place in March 2013. The now biennial competition takes place in the festival’s Spring programme, allowing the competition to develop a unique profile of its own. The winner of the competition will receive, amongst other prizes, a cash prize of UK£5,000, a contemporary bow to the value of £5,000 from Bishop Instruments & Bows, an invitation to perform a concerto with the Phiharmonia Orchestra in the main Windsor Festival programme in September 2013 and the opportunity to record a commercial CD with Champs Hill Records (www.champshillrecords.co.uk)
