Laureates of "The Indianapolis" have emerged as outstanding artists in concert halls across the globe. For 17 days every four years, 40 of the world's brightest talents come here to perform some of the most beautiful music ever written before enthusiastic audiences in venues throughout the city including the Eugene and Marilyn Glick Indiana History Center, Christel DeHaan Fine Arts Center and Hilbert Circle Theatre, where finalists collaborate with the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra. Of the prizes awarded, perhaps the most astonishing is the loan of the 1683 ex-Gingold Stradivari violin, which is made available to one of the Laureates for the four years following the Competition. Under the guidance of Thomas J. Beczkiewicz, Founding Director, and the late Josef Gingold, who had served on the juries of every major violin competition in the world, the IVCI became known by the musical and media communities as one of the world's most compelling competitions. In 1994, the artistic leadership of this Competition passed from Gingold to his most famous pupil, Jaime Laredo, one of the master musicians of our time. Since 1982, Indianapolis has hosted eight Competitions. It is a unique showcase for the world's most gifted young violinists and a demonstration of Hoosier hospitality and American volunteerism. Regarded as the "Olympics of the Violin," each Competition generates significant national and international media coverage for the artists and the state. Hundreds of volunteers work tirelessly to make this event possible. The Ninth Quadrennial Competition will take place September 5-21, 2014. Through the performances of its Laureates, the influence of the Competition continues for years afterward in cities of the world far from Indianapolis. These Laureates uphold the tradition of quality and excellence which has made the International Violin Competition of Indianapolis one of the most prestigious music competitions in the world.
