Concours d'Interprétation Musicale de Lausanne 2023
The Concours d'Interprétation Musicale de Lausanne (CIML) took place on June 17 and 18 in Lausanne. Two female cellists and one male cellist were honored.
The Ticino Milo Ferrazzini (Munich University of Music and Performing Arts) won first prize and the Guy Fallot Special Prize. Pascale Fallot, the daughter of the famous cellist, presented him with the prize. Ferrazzini's interpretation of works by Dieter Ammann, Ludwig van Beethoven and Nadia Boulanger impressed both the jury and the audience.
The two other finalists in the competition, Clara Schlotz (Conservatoire de Lausanne) and Axelle Richez (Zurich University of the Arts), both won a 2nd prize ex aequo.
One of the special features of the Concours d'Interprétation Musicale de Lausanne is the award for piano accompanists. This year, Guy Fallot's family also donated this prize. It went to Yukiko Tanaka, piano accompanist at the Haute Ecole de Musique de Lausanne.
The jury was made up of François Guye (President), Sonia Wieder-Atherton, Ophélie Gaillard, Nicolas Chalvin and Christian Favre.
