During the 50th International Viola Congress in Paris last month, founding president and honorary member of the Dutch Viola Society Karin Dolman was installed as the new President of the International Viola Society for a 3-year term. This was the result from an election process with votes from all IVS member sections last fall.

During the final banquet dinner of the congress on January 23rd, Karin was also awarded the IVS Silver Alto Clef for her tireless commitment to building the viola community around the world.

We congratulate her with this great token of recognition, and wish her the best for her term as President of the IVS!
