JURY

Initiator Eva LIND on the task: "I am delighted that I was able to launch the Tyrolean Classical Instrumentalist Prize with our EVA LIND MUSIC ACADEMY TIROL. Following the successful premiere of the TIROLER KLASSIK SÄNGERPREIS, this award is a next, consistent step in the intensive promotion of young classical instrumentalists in Tyrol.

As a singer, I know how important support is right at the beginning of a career. In addition to the chance of generous support, the prizewinners also have the opportunity to make several public appearances - for example with the Tyrolean Symphony Orchestra Innsbruck or at the GRANDE FINALE of the Eva Lind Music Academy Tyrol.

My heartfelt thanks especially to the state of Tyrol and the ORF Tyrol for their willingness to support this project both financially and medially, and of course also to the Tiroler Symphonieorchester Innsbruck for the great cooperation! "
