The Cecil Aronowitz International Viola Competition: Cecil Aronowitz - A Talk Hosted by the British Viola Society and Birmingham Conservatoire

Family, friends and colleagues reminisce about Cecil’s life, character, passion and quirks.

Violists from around the world have been invited to enter the first Cecil Aronowitz Viola Competition. Organised by Birmingham Conservatoire, Birmingham City University and the British Viola Society, the winner will be awarded £2,000 along with several high profile recitals as part of Birmingham Conservatoire’s Concert Series.

Dedicated to Cecil Aronowitz, the South African violist and long-term collaborator with Benjamin Britten, the competition is open to applications from violists from anywhere in the world, at the age of 21 or under at the time of the competition. All are welcome to join us to watch the competitions and a mini-festival of other events.
