It was a great pleasure and an honor to listen and meet, together with my wonderful colleagues as President of the Jury, so many talented violinists from many different countries at the XXXI Postacchini Competition in May 2024. The week was intensely filled not only with fantastic music, but also with many special and inspiring encounters. A big thank you to the outstanding team that organizes the Violin Competition every year in an exemplary way, making an invaluable contribution to the international musical and human exchange! The traditional city of Fermo, with its beautiful theater, is the ideal location for this event. I wish all participants and everyone involved in this violin competition much joy, inspiring experiences and interesting personal encounters!
