Bern Kiwanis Prize 2016 goes to Laura Schmid
This year, the German recorder player Laura Schmid receives the Kiwanis Music Prize of the Kiwanis Club Bern, which is awarded every three years.
Laura Katherina Schmid completed her Master of Arts in Music Pedagogy with distinction at the Bern University of the Arts (HKB) in 2014. In addition to her further studies and projects, she teaches at the Music School of the City of Lucerne. Her virtuoso performance as well as her body language and strong personality unanimously convinced the jury, writes the Bern University of the Arts.
The Kiwanis Music Prize is awarded every three years to graduates of the Master of Arts in Music Pedagogy program who are above average in both artistic and pedagogical terms. Great importance is attached to an exceptionally high level of pedagogical competence in passing on the acquired skills.
Laure Schmid will perform a prizewinners' concert on March 1, 2016, at 8:30 p.m. in the large concert hall of the HKB at Papiermühlestrasse 13d.
