Priviledged access to master classes, and specialized coachings gives the candidates the support they need to become the stars of tomorrow! The finale of the Vendome Prize at the Verbier Festival is dedicated to the memory of the late Sir Jeffrey Tate, one of the towering figures of the classical music world and a renowned conductor. He was also Chairman of the Vendome Jury since its beginning. – Alexis Gregory and Martin T:son Engstroem.
