Elmar Oliveira International Violin Competition at Keith C. and Elaine Johnson Wold Performing Arts Center

Competition finalists will present concerti with the Lynn Philharmonia under the direction of Maestro Guillermo Figueroa. This provides concertgoers a unique Philharmonia experience.

The Elmar Oliveira International Violin Competition (EOIVC), a flagship program of the Elevar Foundation, was established in 2016 by celebrated violinist Elmar Oliveira in collaboration with the Lynn University Conservatory of Music. The EOIVC is committed to providing talented violinists, ages 16–32, who are at the start of their careers, with networking, management, public relations, community engagement and concert opportunities in addition to a monetary prize. These long-term career development tools reach well beyond financial support, actively demonstrating the strong dedication of the EOIVC to cultivating and nurturing developing musicians as well as encouraging them to engage with the communities they serve.
