The Swiss Ambassador’s Award Concert was established in 1998 with the aim of presenting some of the most talented young Swiss musicians in the UK.

Exciting new duo Viviane Chassot and David Pia are the winners of this year’s Award. Their unusual combination of instruments represents a new venture for this concert series. The prize-winning pair, who both graduated in Switzerland, currently work with eminent conductors and are frequent guests at international festivals.

An exclusive programme has been put together for this tour, including the world première of several pieces written for the duo by Swiss composer Helena Winkelman.
