At the 8th Leopold Mozart International Violin Competition, young violin talents from all over the world will compete for prizes with a total value of around 30,000 euros. The media lab at the University of Augsburg will be broadcasting all competition rounds and concerts via livestream.
Several cameras and changing shots will be used during the major orchestral rounds as well as the ceremonial, opening and prizewinners' concerts of the competition, which will take place from April 17 to 28, 2013, so that an event similar to a TV broadcast can be expected.
During the first two rounds of the competition, the live broadcast will also be shown on a large screen in the foyer of the Leopold Mozart Center.
For Ulrich Fahrner, head of the media laboratory at the University of Augsburg, the project offers the opportunity for transdisciplinary cooperation. The students can gain practical experience on the cameras and prove themselves in front of a large audience.
