<\/section><p>Augustin Dumay, President of the Jury, is happy with the way the competition went and says: \u2018Our goal in the 16th International Henryk Wieniawski Violin Competition was clearly not to try to highlight the \u2018violin champions of the week in Pozna\u0144\u2019 but rather to discover young musicians, sensitive, intelligent, refined, with a strong personality, whom we would like to listen on and on for years.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>The three winners of the Wieniawski Competition will now head off on a world tour, playing a total of 60 concerts in 20 countries across five continents.<\/p>\n<div class=\""image-handler__container\" image-handler__container--full=\"\" style=\""padding-bottom:\" calc=\"\"> <picture><source media=\""(max-width:\"
