SJMW final in Kriens
The final of the Swiss Youth Music Competition (SJMW) took place at Südpol Kriens from May 6 to 9 - without an audience. The final concert was recorded by SRF 2.
Unlike last year, the 2021 competition could be held again. 366 young musicians qualified for the final in Kriens at the regional competitions in March. They played without an audience in front of an expert jury. As the SJMW writes in its press release, this restriction deprived the young talents of a crucial experience. The restrictions of the lockdown, on the other hand, could have contributed to the participants' concentration on their instruments and thus to the high musical level of this year, the SJMW suspects.
The final concert was recorded by SRF2 and will be broadcast at a later date. The jurors awarded 311 prizes. The results are documented on the SJMW website.
