Young talents Music Valais on course
The first edition of the "Young Talents Music Valais" (JTM-Vs) competition received 90 applications from all over the canton.
According to the canton's press release, a total of 57 people were invited to the audition phase before the jury of the JTM-Vs commission, which took place from 29 April to 2 May 2024 at the new music center in Sion. In the end, 39 talented musicians from Valais received the first scholarships for this support program for young people between the ages of 4 and 25.
The aim of this support is to raise a high caliber of young amateur musicians and to prepare young musicians from Valais as well as possible for the transition to a music academy. The beneficiaries can then take advantage of a varied program of lessons, seminars and workshops that meet their specific needs and receive individual support. They can also use the money they receive to buy or maintain a musical instrument.
