Every two years, our musicians compete at the Sándor Végh Competition, named after the famous violinist and former frequent guest conductor of the BFO, for the chance to perform as a soloist at one of the big orchestra concerts the following season. After much deliberation, the jury awarded the following productions after this year's Sándor Végh Competition:
