Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, 

It is my genuine pleasure to welcome you all to the UAE for this first edition
of the Dubai Classic Violin Competition.

As the Artistic Director of this event, I would like to thank you for joining us
at the start of what we are sure will be a remarkable musical journey,
celebrating the artistry and virtuosity of talented violinists from all around
the world. With a prestigious prize fund of €35,000 in place, we are committed
to recognising and supporting the exceptional talent of our contestants,
providing a springboard for musicians to pursue their dreams and further their
careers.

Moreover, since this competition forms part of the Six Ways to Classic Violin
Olympus initiative, our participants will also be competing for a place at the
inaugural Classic Violin Olympus International Competition, which will be taking
place in Dubai in 2025, and feature the two top-ranked musicians from each of
these six preliminary contests. This means that success in this competition will
not merely lead to plaudits in its own right, but also provide the opportunity
for the violinists to achieve even bigger milestones, as they go head-to-head
with other champions in Dubai.

I would like to take this opportunity to extend my heartfelt gratitude to all
our sponsors, partners, and supporters for their invaluable contribution in
making this competition a reality. Similarly, I would also like to thank the
amazing maestros who shall be joining us on the jury panel. The wealth of
expertise and experience that they bring with them is an invaluable addition to
this event, and I am honoured that they have chosen to be with us here in Dubai.

Now, I invite all of you who have dedicated their lives to this wonderful
instrument to embark with us on this celebration of talent, camaraderie, and
musical excellence. This competition aims to provide an effective platform for
you to not only showcase your technique, skills and professionalism, but also
your personality and knowledge when interpreting the compositions you will be
performing, and I urge you all to make the most of this opportunity and take as
much from it as you can to aid you in your musical journeys. 

I wish you all a most harmonious and fulfilling experience.

Massimo
Quarta
Italy


The American Record Guide has described Massimo Quarta as “the embodiment of
elegance” and according to Diapason “the brio and the sensuality of his playing,
the purity of his sonority and the elegance of a diction deprived of emphasis,
give to his view a tenderness and a refinement rarely heard.”

Massimo Quarta sets standards in his recording for Dynamic rediscovering the
original version of both better known Paganini's works as the 6 Violin Concertos
played with the “Cannone” Guarneri del Gesú, the violin owned by the great
Genovese virtuoso, as well as works for violin and piano (I Palpiti, Napoléon,
Weigl Variations, Le Streghe). His recording of Paganini 24 Caprices has been

music have won over audiences and have been widely acclaimed in the
international press (CHOC Award 2004 of “Le monde de la Musique”) gaining him an
honoured place alongside the most distinguished artists (The Strad).

Massimo Quarta began to study violin at age of eleven at the “T. Schipa”
Conservatory in Lecce, then followed his studies and graduated at the “S.
Cecilia” Conservatory in Rome with Beatrice Antonioni. He subsequently studied
with Salvatore Accardo, Ruggiero Ricci, Pavel Vernikov and Abram Shtern.

After winning the most important national competition, (Opera Prima “Philips”,

such conductors as Yuri Temirkanov, Miun Wun Chung, Christian Thielemann, Daniel
Harding, Daniele Gatti, Vladimir Yurowsky, Aldo Ceccato, Isaac Karbtvcevsky,
Daniel Oren.

Firmly established soon as one of the most brilliant violinists of his
generation, he has been the guest of renowned festivals notably those in Stresa,
Sarasota, Kuhmo, Spoleto, Bratislava, Kfar-Blum, Bodensee, Ljubjana, Ravenna,
Città di Castello, Lyon, Naples, Sapporo, Potsdam, Berliner Festwochen and
Gidon Kremer's Kammermusikfest in Lockenhaus.

Along with his intense career as a soloist, Massimo Quarta has been acclaimed as
one of Europe's most dynamic and exciting conductors, appearing with the Royal
Philharmonic Orchestra, the Netherland Symphony, the Shenzhen Symphony
Orchestra, the Berliner Synfoniker, the National Symphony Orchestra of Buenos
Aires, the Orchestra della Svizzera Italiana OSI, the Sønderjyllands
Symfoniorkester (Denmark), the Orcquesta Filarmonica de Malaga, the Orchestra of
