Experience the magic of the Swiss Ambassador's Annual Award Concert perfomed in world class concert halls in London, Manchester & Cardiff. 

This year’s Award goes to the Switzerland-based AKMI Duo, with French saxophonist Valentine Michaud and Lithuanian pianist Akvilé Sileikaité. They met while studying for their Masters at Zurich University of the Arts, where their friendship and passion for modern and contemporary music inspired them to form the AKMI Duo.
