The Singapore International Violin Competition (SIVC) returns in 2026, celebrating exceptional artistry and the future of violin performance. A triennial global platform, the Competition brings together 30 outstanding young violinists under the age of 30, and has, since its launch in 2014, grown into a distinctive international event that champions artistic excellence, contemporary creation and meaningful musical dialogue.

Outreach Day extends the spirit of SIVC beyond the competition stage, offering the public opportunities to engage with music through engagement activities. The day reflects the Competition’s commitment to inspiring new audiences and fostering meaningful musical exchange beyond the concert hall.

As part of Outreach Day 1, join us at our Outreach Masterclass sessions and experience the professional expertise of veteran artists as well as the learning process of young musicians up close:

3:00-5:00PM | Prof. Shmuel Ashkenasi, Curtis Institute of Music
7:30-9:30PM | Prof. Itzhak Rashkovsky, Royal College of Music

The SIVC 2026 Outreach Masterclass is open to all participants between the ages of 6 and 25. Applicants should submit a video recording of one concerto movement or a 4-7 minute piece.
