The Swiss Ambassador’s Award Concert tour delighted audiences across the UK’s capital cities with a challenging programme of Swiss contemporary pieces by Demenga and Schnyder along with classics by Rachmaninov, Shostakovich and Tchaikovsky. This year’s winner, 23-year-old Swiss cello virtuoso Christoph Croisé – accompanied by acclaimed Russian pianist Alexander Panfilov – displayed ‘wisdom beyond his years’ according to the Daily Mail.
The Swiss Ambassador’s Award Concert is an annual showcase of talented musicians with a classical and contemporary repertoire. The concert is organised in cooperation with the Swiss Cultural Fund UK.
