Marina Yashvili

Twenty years of age during the Poznań event, Marina Yashvili, the subsequent laureate of the Queen Elizabeth Competition in Brussels: what distinguished her on stage at the University Auditorium was the beautiful, dark sound which she elicited from her Guarneri, the tonal sensivity, impeccability of intonation and unusual, free from superfluous solemnity performance of Concerto in A major by Mieczysław Karłowicz. Besides intense concert activity, she is Professor at academies in Moscow, Tbilisi and Novi Sad. Returned to Poznań several times as a juror.
