2027年第三届斯图加特国际小提琴比赛将于2027年2月21日至28日在德国斯图加特举行，现已开放报名。

斯图加特国际小提琴比赛由瓜达尼尼基金会主办，面向28岁及以下的国际小提琴演奏家开放。2027年比赛的总奖金为7万欧元。一等奖获得者将获得多项重要的演出机会，并可在接下来的三年内借用一把1746年的乔瓦尼·巴蒂斯塔·瓜达尼尼小提琴。

2027年的评委会成员包括：克里斯托夫·波彭（主席）、诺拉·查斯坦、哈拉尔德·埃格布雷希特、冯宁、艾达·卡瓦菲安、丹尼尔·斯塔布拉瓦、弗里德里克·斯塔克洛夫、乌尔夫·瓦林和杨天娲。

所有申请均须于2026年7月31日前通过此链接提交。 瓜达尼尼基金会主席马库斯·克莱因在接受《小提琴频道》采访时表示：“像这样的比赛之所以成功，在于它的精神、理念和真实性，这些都传递给了参赛者，并散发出一种独特的魅力。”

在斯图加特，我们所做的一切都围绕着一个核心理念：发掘年轻音乐家的才华。这始于申请阶段，贯穿于充满友善氛围的比赛过程，并在赛后的社交媒体宣传活动中得到体现，所有参赛者都会被提及。我们还会支持第一名获奖者在接下来的三年里（直到下一届比赛）的艺术发展，特别是通过安排大量的音乐会演出。此外，合作伙伴之间（例如斯图加特音乐与表演艺术大学和斯图加特爱乐乐团）的完美协作和专业合作也是这项比赛的坚实支柱。

申请时，可以分三次录制申请视频。演奏的曲目本身不得进行剪辑，所需曲目包括：

1. 沃尔夫冈·阿马德乌斯·莫扎特

以下奏鸣曲之一：

KV 454、KV 481 或 KV 526 

（分别演奏第一乐章和第二乐章）

2. 尼科洛·帕格尼尼

选自《24首小提琴独奏随想曲，作品1》的两首随想曲

提交申请视频后，比赛将分为三轮进行。前两轮比赛将由钢琴伴奏，而决赛将分别由西班牙银行阿利亚加四重奏乐团和由米哈尔·内斯特罗维奇指挥的斯图加特爱乐乐团进行伴奏。

克莱因继续说道：“我们非常高兴第一届和第二届比赛收到了大量的申请，参赛选手的水平也反映了我们希望跻身最重要的国际小提琴比赛之列的雄心壮志。另一个重要因素是，我们的评委始终由享誉国际的小提琴界杰出人士组成。

除了丰厚的奖金和提供一把1746年的瓜达尼尼小提琴供获奖者借用之外，这对参赛选手来说也具有不可估量的价值，因为他们有机会在这些杰出人士面前展示自己，并从他们的专业知识中受益。”

Applications Open for Germany's Stuttgart International Violin Competition. Applications are open for the third edition of the competition, which is to be held in Stuttgart, Germany, from February 21 to 28, 2027. Organized by the Guadagnini Foundation, the Stuttgart International Violin Competition is open to international violinists 28 years of age and younger. The 2027 competition's prize money totals 70,000 Euros. The first prize winner will benefit from several important performance engagements and the loan of a 1746 Giovanni Battista Guadagnini violin for the three subsequent years. The 2027 jury will comprise Christoph Poppen (president), Nora Chastain, Harald Eggebrecht, Feng Ning, Ida Kavafian, Daniel Stabrawa, Friederike Starkloff, Ulf Wallin, and Tianwa Yang.

All applications are to be submitted by July 31, 2026, at this link."A competition like this thrives on its spirit, its concept, and its authenticity, which is conveyed to the participants and radiates a sense of uniqueness," Markus Klein, President of the Guadagnini Foundation, told The Violin Channel."Promoting the talent of young musicians is the idea that frames everything we do in Stuttgart. It begins with the application, continues with the appreciative competition atmosphere, and is reflected in social media campaigns after the competition, in which all participants are featured. We also support the first prize winner in their artistic development over the three years until the next competition, in particular through numerous concert engagements. In addition, the perfect connection and professional cooperation between the partners, whether it be the University of Music and Performing Arts or the Stuttgart Philharmonic Orchestra, are strong pillars of this competition."

To apply, an application video may be recorded in three takes. The pieces themselves must contain no cuts, and the required repertoire includes:

1. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

One of the sonatas KV 454, KV 481 or KV 526

(1st and 2nd movements respectively)

2. Niccolò Paganini
Two caprices from: 24 Caprices for Solo Violin, Op. 1

After the application video, the competition will consist of three rounds. The first two rounds take place with a piano accompaniment, while the final will be accompanied partially by the Cuarteto Arriaga de Banco de España and partially by the Stuttgart Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Michał Nesterowicz."We are very pleased that we received a large number of applications for the first two competitions and that the level of the candidates reflected our own ambition to be ranked among the most important international violin competitions," Klein continued. "Another contributing factor is that our jury is always made up of violin personalities of the highest international reputation, which, in addition to the exclusive prize money and the offer of a Guadagnini violin from 1746 on loan, is of inestimable value to the candidates, who have the opportunity to present themselves to these personalities and benefit from their expertise.  Our cooperation with VC, which above all enables us to livestream worldwide with an enormous reach, as well as other media partnerships, also contributed to the Stuttgart International Violin Competition establishing itself internationally from the very beginning and very soon becoming a member of the WFIM."
