Event has already taken place

For the second time, the competition is now being held with participants from all the Nordic countries.

The soloists aged 14-18 will perform at the concert with the Gothenburg Symphony. After several competition rounds around christmas holidays, we will get an answer to the question – who will be this year’s winner?

The music is performed by the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra and the Polstjärnepriset Symphony Orchestra. Conductors are Petri Sakari and the musical director of Polstjärnepriset, Andreas van Tol.

Don’t miss an opportunity to hear the classical stars of the future!

With us on the concert is also cellist Hugo Svedberg, who won the competition in 2024.

“I started playing the violin when I was about 5 years old. Both my parents are professional musicians. My older brother also plays the violin, so it was natural for me to start as well. I love playing the violin and classical music and I want to become a professional musician in the future. ” Daniel Iourtchik, violin

“I grew up with classical music. My mother is a violin teacher and my father is a violinist, so playing the violin came naturally for me. At the YOMA courses I get lots of inspiration from fantastic teachers and students. I love to perform, and playing together with others makes me very happy. My dream is to become a professional violinist and work in an orchestra.” Sara Hagman, violin

“I love the sound of the cello. For me, the cello is the instrument that most closely resembles the human voice, from a rich bass to a bright soprano. If I can make the audience feel the cooperation between the voice and my interpretation of the music, then I would be very happy and feel that I have achieved my goal as a musician.” Clara Yuna Friedensburg, cello

“My name is Otilia and I have played the flute since I was 8 years old. I come from a family of music, so it was very natural for me to start as well. I started playing the piano, but the flute won in the end.  I love classical music because of the freedom to express and because you meet wonderful people.” Otilia Zielke, flute
