PROJET CASSE-NOISETTE

In the field of music, talent has nothing to do with age: the winners of the Nutcracker Competition can well prove it! This contest launched nearly twenty years ago by Russia's Kultura television channel gathers every year in Moscow an extraordinary selection of young musicians under 14 from all over the world, who compete in three disciplines: piano, strings and wind instruments. The Septembre Musical is proud to welcome a quartet of Russian prizewinners for this concert in Vevey. Pianist Alexandra Dovgan was only 10 years old when she won in 2017 a Gold Medal at the Nutcracker Competition. She is undoubtedly one of tomorrow's stars, as are the three other young virtuosos who will share the stage: oboist Timofei Yakhnov (winner of the Moscow competition in 2015), violinist Daniil Bessonov (winner in 2016) and saxophonist Sofia Tyurina (winner in 2017).
