Walter Furrer Prize 2025

The Association Walter Furrer is awarding a prize for the best interpretation of Walter Furrer’s Piano Variations (1926).
Written in Paris after his years of study with Nadia Boulanger (1887-1979), this composition by the German-born Swiss composer Walter Furrer (1902–1978) reflects cultivated European musical traditions and, in our opinion, represents a milestone for future generations of musicians to discover.
The world premiere took place in January 2025, performed by Ilya Shmukler, winner of the Concours Géza Anda 2024. And now it is your turn: apply for the Walter Furrer Prize 2025!
