MKZ pop/rock/jazz sponsorship prize awarded
Electric guitarist and singer Dan Hunziker wins this year's final competition of Musikschule Konservatorium Zürich. The 20-year-old from Aargau receives 3000 francs.
Hunziker impressed the jury with his interpretation of blues rock classics such as "I Don't Need No Doctor" and "Shame" as well as his own composition "Wasting Time", in which he also appeared as a singer. Andrea F.G. Raschèr, President of the MKZ Foundation, even thought he had heard "a young Jeff Beck". Dan Hunziker is studying at MKZ Pre-College with the aim of passing on his love of music and his knowledge as a guitar teacher in the not too distant future.
The MKZ sponsorship prizes are awarded annually for "outstanding artistic achievement" and are endowed with CHF 3000 prize money each. This prize money provided by the MKZ Sponsorship Foundation is tied to a musical purpose (master classes, CD productions or similar).
