Scholarships

Since 2011, a jury of experts has decided on the awarding of scholarships each year. These range from CHF 4,000-6,000 depending on performance. Instruments are also awarded to outstanding young musicians as part of the scholarship auditions. The auditions take place at the Musikschule Konservatorium Zürich and are not open to the public.
