As part of the Schubertiade, which is being held this weekend in Fribourg, four young musicians from all over Switzerland will together give a chamber music concert. They do not know each other but will combine their talent for an extraordinary performance.
The four Swiss instrumentalists represent the four units of the SSR (SRF, RSI, RTR and RTS) during the Schubertiade. Cellist Jonathan Gerstner, pianist Aìta Gaudenz, violinist Anna Schultsz and pianist Sarah Murer will get to know each other in Friborg two days before their concert, will work on the program they have imagined and will perform on Sunday at 1 p.m. at the Temple Réformé in Fribourg, in front of the public, the microphones and the cameras of the RTS.
To represent French-speaking Switzerland, the RTS has invited Jonathan Gerstner, a young 19-year-old cellist who is delighted with this adventure.
