We are happy to announce a series of 4 “Prelude” concerts during the 2024 festival week as the continuation of our artistic partnership with the HEMU (Haute École de Musique et Conservatoire de Lausanne).

This year we look forward to welcoming 2 students from the HEMU “Master Soliste” program: the flutist Melanie Martin Gil and the clarinetist Tiago Bento.

In addition, the cellist Benjamin Jacobs who is the recipient of VSC scholarship for the season 2023-24 will be featured together with the 2023 laureate of the Clara Haskil Prix, Magdalene Ho.
