For the 50th anniversary the Sion Festival in Switzerland pays homage to the great Duos with an original contest open to violinists and pianists aged between 8 and 88 regardless of nationality or gender. Candidates participate in a performance developed with Igudesman and Joo during workshops. "When bribing the Jury is only one of many ways for victory, who will withstand the pressure? In the heart of the beautiful Swiss alps, musicians think they compete for the chance of their lives, not knowing the Producers have a very different plan."—Eric Sebalsky
