At the Fidelio award winners’ concert on 10 December 2019 at RadioKulturhaus, Andrea and Christian Klausner personally presented the HFP Fidelio Scholarship 2020 to the delighted winners.

The winners had been chosen beforehand at MUK – Music and Arts University of the City of Vienna by a top-class jury, which judged their interpretation of key chamber music works.

At the atmospheric award winners’ concert, the musicians enchanted the audience with highlights from their competition programme.

The HFP Fidelio Scholarship includes the title “HFP Artists of the Year” – and with it, great opportunities to perform. HFP has been funding artist scholarships since 1999.

The winners of the HFP Scholarship 2020 in the Fidelio.Interpretation category are:
