Werkjahre of the City of Zurich for musicians
The City of Zurich is awarding 21 artists and 3 collectives in six funding categories with work years and awards totaling CHF 633,000.
At the request of the municipal commissions for visual arts, literature, theater, dance, jazz/rock/pop and serious music, the City of Zurich will present the 2019 cultural awards. The work years and awards are a central instrument of the City of Zurich for promoting the independent scene. In addition, the award for special cultural merit is presented to David Basler on behalf of the City Council.
In the jazz, rock and pop category, the first three years of work go to Sibylle Aeberli, Janine Cathrein and Tapiwa Svosve (CHF 48,000 each). In serious music, one year of composition goes to Lara Stanic and one year of interpretation to the Zurich Baroque Orchestra (also CHF 48,000 each).
