There won’t be any skates or snowboards at this Olympics, but there will be bows and strings aplenty.

The Menuhin Competition or the “Olympics of the Violin” kicks off in Geneva, Switzerland in April for 44 of the world’s most-talented violinists under the age of 22. One of those competitors, Jacques Forestier, is a 13-year-old violinist from Edmonton, Alta. He started learning to play the instrument after his mother, who is also a violinist, gave him his first violin when he was just two years old.
