Glasson Scholarship for Anaïs Hess
The Canton of Fribourg is awarding the 2025-26 scholarship from the Pierre and Renée Glasson Fund in the amount of CHF 10,000 to the flautist Anaïs Hess.
Anaïs Hess, born in 2002, lives in Villaz-St-Pierre. In 2024, she completed her bachelor's degree in flute at the Lausanne University of Music (HEMU). Parallel to her studies, she is involved in several regional music ensembles both as an instrumentalist and as a singer, with a repertoire ranging from classical to Celtic to electro-acoustic music, variety and pop. She is a member of the «Concerts du Cœur Fribourgeois» and teaches flute in Fribourg.
Anaïs Hess won a first prize at the Swiss Youth Music Competition (2022) and the Prix Musique of the Swiss Wind Music Association (2021). The scholarship will help Anaïs Hess to broaden her professional experience and continue her master's degree in music education at the HEMU.
The Pierre and Renée Glasson Fund for Music, established in 1995 and administered by the Office of Culture of the Canton of Fribourg, supports the activities of musicians from the Canton of Fribourg or the rest of Switzerland who live in the Canton of Fribourg. The scholarship from this fund serves as a contribution to the financing of a Master's or postgraduate degree course at a music college in Switzerland or abroad.
