Schoenfeld International String Competition

Schoenfeld International String Competition was established to pay tribute to the legendary sisters, performers, and educators in the string world - Alice and Eleonore Schoenfeld.  

Our competition is based in Harbin, a city entitled "The City of Music” by Union Nations in 2010. In collaboration with Harbin Symphony Orchestra, the Grand Theatre, and the Conservatory of Music in Harbin, the Schoenfeld provides a unique and wide-ranging performance platform for promoting gifted violinists, cellists, and chamber music performers all over world.

Schoenfeld International String Competition was founded in 2013 in honour of the violinist Alice Schoenfeld and the cellist Eleonore Schoenfeld, both legendary performers and pedagogues. The competition is held biennially in Harbin since 2014 and became a member of World Federation of International Music Competitions (WFIMC) in 2017.
