The two competitions, which are combined with master classes and concerts, have been held at the Mozarteum University since 2010.
Since 2020, the competition for the viola division has been named after Paul Hindemith (formerly Lionel Tertis), who is thus celebrated as a violist as well as for his 60 years as an honorary member of the Mozarteum University.
"We deliberately encourage those students to participate who may not yet have the confidence to compete. The more you've been exposed, the stronger your nerves will be as a soloist or when you later audition for an orchestral position."
— Harald Herzl
