Delays in the Menuhin Competition

Published: 16. April 2010

Owing to the disruption in air traffic over Norway and northern Europe, we have decided to delay the opening rounds and Senior semifinals in the Menuhin Competition by one day. This means that the Senior first rounds will begin on Sunday 18 April, and so on.

Masterclasses with jury members that were originally scheduled to take place on Thursday 22 April will be moved to another day, probably to Saturday 24 or Sunday 25 April.

The programme will be updated as soon as we know about further changes.
 

– As seen today the competition will go ahead, says Tone Winje, project manager.
 

The problems in air traffic will have no impact on the Opening Concert on Friday night in Oslo Concert House.
 

We’ll keep you informed as we know more.
