Competition winner
Arsonore brings Leonhard Baumgartner to Graz
On Saturday evening, 17-year-old Leonhard Baumgartner from Lower Austria won the international "Eurovision Young Musicians" competition in Bodø, Norway. He can be seen live in Graz at the Arsonore Festival on September 5.
Born in Vienna in 2007, Leonhard Baumgartner is already a multi-award-winning violinist at the age of 17. From 2019 he studied with Regina Brandstätter at the University of Music and Performing Arts Graz, two years ago he moved to Vienna to study with Dora Schwarzberg, while also attending numerous masterclasses with Ana Chumachenco, David Frühwirth, Yair Kless, Paul Roczek, Kirill Troussov and Pavel Vernikov.
Sovereign victory
He was able to demonstrate his own class on Saturday at the international classical music competition "Eurovision Young Musicians" in the Norwegian cultural capital Bodø, which he won with aplomb. With the first movement of Henri Vieuxtemps' Violin Concerto No. 5 in A minor, he left ten competitors in his wake. Hugo Svedberg from Sweden and Fabian Johannes Egger from Germany took second and third place. Baumgartner thus follows in the footsteps of Julian Rachlin, Lydia Baich, Alexandra Soumm, Dalibor Karvay and Ziyu He, who have won this competition for Austria since it was founded in 1982.
Anyone who wants to experience the young virtuoso live will have the opportunity to do so at Markus Schirmer's Arsonore Festival at Schloss Eggenberg in Graz. Under the title "Pura Vida!", he celebrates life together with colleagues such as Jevgēnijs Čepoveckis, Thomas Selditz, Marie Spaemann, Julian Arp, Schirmer himself and others on September 5.
