Lionel Tertis International Viola Competition

Lionel Tertis, the greatest viola player of the 20th century, died in February 1975, at the age of 98. A fund was set up with the primary objective of establishing an international viola competition to commemorate the work that he undertook for that instrument throughout his long and active life.

Such a competition would provide a unique incentive to the growing number of viola players all over the world who wish to pursue a solo or chamber music career. So the Lionel Tertis International Viola Competition and Workshop was born.

This triennial event is now well-established and known throughout the musical world. Players of all nationalities are invited to take part and the competition, workshops and masterclasses attract participants from over 30 countries.
