dear Violists near and far,

we are overwhelmed – both mentally and emotionally – by your enthusiastic response to our Call for Proposals! We received …

– that’s right: 116 proposals! – which we have accepted for consideration … constituting almost 3 times the amount of contents that we can possibly program for the congress!

Some fun statistics:

• Proposals were received from 28 different countries (main presenter’s nationality).
  The Top-5 proposal nationalities:
  1. USA (28)
  2. Italy (14)
  3. Poland (11)
  3. The Netherlands (11)
  5. Canada (9)
• Breakdown per Presentation Type:
  65 Recitals
  23 Lecture-Recitals
  11 Lectures
  7 Workshops
  10 Masterclasses

The Programme Committee has got a hell of a job in the coming week. We hope to be able to make a definite selection and notify all selected presenters by January 15th still!
