Thank You for the Challenge: The 10th Quadrennial International Violin Competition of Indianapolis

The International Violin Competition of Indianapolis

It happens every four years. Forty of the world’s most jaw-droppingly talented young violinists are invited to Indianapolis for the musical challenge of a lifetime.

The International Violin Competition of Indianapolis, now celebrating its Tenth Quadrennial, is quickly becoming the stuff of legend. Known around the world as, simply, “The Indianapolis,” the competition is often referred to as the Olympics of the Violin. And no wonder!

When a violinist competes at The Indianapolis, the whole world watches. And listens.

In WFYI’s new documentary, “Thank You for the Challenge: The Tenth Quadrennial International Violin Competition of Indianapolis," you are given a seat – front and center – to watch as each competitor attemps the performance of a lifetime. And you’ll also get a backstage pass to meet the competitors.
