The Competition Across the State
The central aim of the ›Joseph Joachim International Violin Competition Hannover‹ is to offer an
attractive stage for exceptionally gifted young violinists from all over the world. During the last 20
years, the idea of using concert venues outside of Hannover has grown into a full-fledged concert
series for the entire state. ›The Competition Across the State‹ refers competition participants and
awardees of other international competitions to concert agencies across the state. The covered area,
extending from Emden to Helmstedt and from Göttingen to Cuxhaven, has thus far seen
40 concerts in eighteen cities.
In 2015, ›The Competition Across the State‹ will take place in two stages. In the summer, the
competition season will be opened with eight concerts on the weekend of June 27/28. On October 7,
selected participants of the competition will travel across the state, spreading international musical
flair throughout Lower Saxony. The concert venues of 2015 are: Nordhorn, Leer, Haselünne,
Cloppenburg, Cuxhaven, Bad Pyrmont, Bad Rehburg, Achim, Agathenburg, Winsen, Göttingen,
Northeim, Lüneburg, and Helmstedt.

The Competition in the Classroom
As today’s schoolchildren are tomorrow’s audience, the ›Joseph Joachim International Violin Competition Hannover‹ has initiated a program to get schoolchildren actively involved in the competition.
The idea is as simple as it is brilliant: The competition visits the classrooms of up to 60 schools and
music schools throughout Lower Saxony (June 15-19 and July 6-10, 2015) and in exchange, invites
school classes to experience the competition and an exciting day program.
Classroom visits
A violinist who is currently enrolled at a university of music or conservatory, and a pedagogy student
set out together to visit ›their‹ school. Naturally, the violin is brought along. The violinist will then
tell the class about his or her life as a musician, share the fascinating world of classical music with
the children and demonstrate the variety of sounds of the violin. For the first time in the 12-year
history of ›The Competition in the Classroom‹, the musical ambassadors of the competition will
invite the entire class to actively join in the music. They will bring along a ›Composition for Violin
and School class‹ that was commissioned for this very purpose as part of a composition competition.
Visiting the JJV
All participating Lower Saxony school classes are invited to experience the competition for themselves. After arriving in Hannover, the children may take part in a backstage tour or a violin making
workshop, depending on their age. The highlight of the day will be the attendance of one of the competition sessions, which will allow the children to hear world-class violinists perform on the concert
stage.
The whole state gets involved
›The Competition in the Classroom‹ was started in 2003 and has since reached thousands of schoolchildren. With this program, the Stiftung Niedersachsen has initiated an outstanding opportunity
for schools and music schools. The project, which continues to grow, is supported by Lower
Saxony’s Ministry of Education, as well as seven Lower Saxony universities. In 2015, the ›Musikland
Niedersachsen gGmbH‹ will also contribute; the organization has, among other things, initiated the
composition competition ›Violin meets School class‹.
The fruitful collaboration of Lower Saxony’s institutions of culture and education is ensured by the
highly professional standards of the endeavor. Participating teachers are equipped with classroom
materials that have been developed to seamlessly fit into the school curriculum and are presented in
a special workshop held by the ›Musikland Niedersachsen gGmbH‹. Additionally, special university
workshops prepare the young violinists for their responsibilities.

Joseph Joachim
Joseph Joachim was born on June 28th, 1831, in Kittsee, near Pressburg (Austria-Hungary), in a
Jewish merchant family. In 1833, the family moved to Budapest, where the child was given his first
violin lessons by the Polish concertmaster of the Pest Royal Opera, Stanislaw Serwaczynski. His
talents were immediately apparent and it became clear that music was to be his destiny.
The following years in Leipzig, where Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy became his mentor and role
model, formed Joachim’s artistic personality. Mendelssohn saw to it that his student was instructed
not only on the violin but also in the humanities and composition. He took Joachim to London,
where the latter first performed Beethoven’s violin concerto to wide critical acclaim. Mendelssohn’s
extensive concept of art and the artistic personality provided the young violinist and composer clear
orientation in both his musical and personal development.
Joseph Joachim was 16 years old when Mendelssohn suddenly died. The loss of his revered mentor
devastated him, and the subsequent period was difficult. In 1849 he went to Weimar, where he met
Liszt and Wagner, became concertmaster and composed. Here, his determination to continue the
legacy Mendelssohn’s musical ideals grew.
In the fall of 1852, Joachim signed a contract to go to Hanover. The city was to be his home base for
the next 15 years. He influenced the music life of the city as concertmaster and general music
director and as solist and good friend of King George the Fifth, who also became Joachim's
godfather. The years in Hanover also marked his close friendships with Johannes Brahms and Clara
Schumann (Robert Schumann died in 1856), his marriage to the opera singer Amalie Schneeweiss
and a personal musical development which, in the words of a contemporary critic, »elevated him
high above today’s virtuosity … to the service of genuine, true art.« He dared to present Johann
Sebastian Bach’s solo works for violin in public; he played not only his own compositions but also
those of his young contemporaries (most of whom were his friends); he was the true incarnation of
»the musician, above all«, the performer in the service of music itself.
In 1866 Hannover was turned over to the Prussians. Joachim left the orchestra. Two years later, he
accepted the position of founding director of the Royal Academy of Music in Berlin. There, he
established his own orchestra and the legendary Joachim Quartett. He was active as a performer and
teacher for almost 40 years, until his death on August 15, 1907. The academy honored its late
teacher with a grand funeral (the sculptor Otto Lessing quickly finished a portrait bust of Joachim
for the occasion). In June 1913 a Joachim monument was installed in the foyer of the Academy
Concert Hall. In 1936 and 1938, the Nazis removed both the bust and the monument from the
academy in a – wasted – attempt to erase from memory the great artist, teacher and composer.
The Stiftung Niedersachsen honors the artist since 1991 in a particular way by arranging the
triennial ›Joseph Joachim International Violin Competition Hannover‹.
