The Migros Culture Percentage has been helping young Swiss chamber music ensembles to launch their careers since 1974. This year, the final was held in public for the second time. Three chamber music ensembles qualified for the final on March 7, 2013 in the Tonhalle Zurich through an audition on February 19, 2013: the Belenus Quartet<\/a> (string quartet) from Zurich, the Daimones Piano Trio (piano trio) from Basel and the Trio Rafale<\/a> (piano trio) from Zurich. The three ensembles each demonstrated their skills with a half-hour performance at the highest level. A high-caliber international jury selected Trio Rafale as the 2013 prize-winning ensemble, which also received the Audience Award. <\/p>\n

The Trio Rafale<\/a>consisting of Maki Wiederkehr (piano) and Flurin Cuonz (violoncello) - both Migros Culture Percentage Study Award winners in 2009 and 2010 - and Daniel Meller (violin), impressed the jury and the audience alike with their performance of Ravel's Trio in A minor. The Migros Culture Percentage Ensemble 2013 will receive prize money of CHF 10,000 as well as comprehensive support that will allow the ensemble to gain concert experience and achieve national renown. All three finalist ensembles will be included in the Migros Culture Percentage concert agency, which makes a financial contribution to the ensembles' commitment. In this way, concert organizers are able to offer high-quality concerts with Swiss musical talent at good conditions. <\/p>\n
