Leron Ly, SJMW prizewinner 2023. photo: Ueli Steingruber<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

From Stefan Muhmenthaler to Jakob Steiner: for each year, Ueli Steingruber has portrayed a personality who was awarded first prize in the Swiss Youth Music Competition (SJMW) between 1976 and 2025. The color or black and white photographs show them in an everyday situation today. The aim is to take a look at the big picture, at the consistency of the competition for 50 years: \"Like a reliably nourishing river, it runs through the biographies of the Swiss music world and feeds it with motivated young talent.\" This is how Michael Eidenbenz praises the SJMW in the introductory text.<\/p>\n

The volume, beautifully designed under the direction of Val\u00e9rie Probst, invites you to look, read and reflect on the nature of music again and again.<\/p>\n
