New works of high quality
Die Jury der 3. Basel Composition Competition unter der Leitung von Michael Jarrell hat drei Werke ausgezeichnet und ist erfreut über die hohe Qualität der Einreichungen.
The winners are Yiqing Zhu (China) with DeepGrey (1st place, endowed with 60,000 Swiss francs), Artur Akshelyan (Armenia) with Three Pieces for Orchestra (2nd place, 25,000 Swiss francs) and Miguel Morate (Spain) with Comme s'en va cette onde (3rd place, 15,000 Swiss francs).
