The first prize includes prize money of 1500 euros and a production budget of 5000 euros. Echo Theory are the HKB students Erin Torres (Master Specialized Music Performance, specialization Music in Context), B\u00e9atrice Garrido (Bachelor Classical Music) and Julian Schletti (Bachelor Sound Arts).<\/p>\n

The second prize of 600 euros went to Duo Zwischen from the Stuttgart and Leipzig music academies, the third prize of 200 euros to soloist Tibor Kov\u00e1cs from the Mozarteum Salzburg and the fourth prize of 200 euros to the On5 Quintett from the Nuremberg University of Music.<\/p>\n

The audience was also able to vote online.<\/p>\n
