Tschumi Prize of the HKB goes to Pavel Yeletskiy
A soloist and four soloists from the HKB successfully completed their Master of Arts in Specialized Music Performance with a gala concert at the Kulturcasino Bern. The pianist Pavel Yeletskiy received a special award - the 2013 Eduard Tschumi Prize, worth CHF 12,000.
The Tschumi Prize is awarded annually for the best soloist examinations at Bern University of the Arts (HKB). The Belarusian pianist Pavel Yeletskiy from Tomasz Herbut's class impressed the jury with his interpretation of Prokofiev.
The pianist Meghan Behiel, the guitarist Ye Fan, the bass clarinettist Vincent Hering and the accordionist Rade Mijatovic have also successfully completed their Master's degree in Specialized Music Performance - the highest level of education at the HKB in the field of music.
Under the direction of conductor Frank Ollu, the Bern Symphony Orchestra accompanied the four soloists and the soloist. The gala concert is one of the highlights of the HKB's anniversary year, which is celebrating its tenth birthday in 2013 with numerous events.
