Every two years, Lucerne Festival, the Conference of Swiss Universities of Music (KMHS), and the Credit Suisse Foundation award the Prix Credit Suisse Jeunes Solistes to highly talented musicians studying in Switzerland. The eventual winners are selected over the course of several rounds that culminate in a final round in which the contestants must present themselves to a jury of experts. The competition for 2019 has chosen Marianna Bednarska as the winner.
