Valuable financial support
for young artists

The bursary was created at the very first edition of the Festival Musique & Vin in 2008, and is made up of a collection of funds raised by the auction held each year at the end of the festival’s closing concert.

To be eligible for this grant, these young people must be enrolled in higher education establishments or courses dedicated to music and recognised in a European or American circuit. The Jeunes Talents scholarship provides solid support for its winners.

It helps them to promote the start of their careers as artists (concerts, records, etc.) so that they can embark on their international careers with greater peace of mind.

Distinguished in their careers, the winners of the Festival Musique & Vin au Clos Vougeot are also committed to performing in concerts organized by the festival alongside the greatest artists on the international music circuit.

Among these commitments, a highlight of the festival is dedicated to them: the free Jeunes Talents concert, which opens each edition. Originally held in the Halle de Beaune, since 2023 it has taken place in the courtyard of the Hospices de Beaune. This concert gives scholarship recipients the opportunity to perform alongside renowned musicians, in front of a large audience.

The Musique & Vin team has been committed to supporting and assisting them from the very first edition.

Praised for his musical sincerity and fiery stage presence, violinist Jason Moon is an emerging artist who draws inspiration from everything from Fritz Kreisler to Queen. He is currently an Artist Diploma candidate at the Colburn School in Los Angeles, studying with Martin Beaver, after completing both his Master of Music and Bachelor of Music degrees at the Colburn School and the Juilliard School respectively. A native of the San Francisco Bay Area, he trained at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music Pre-College and performed for four seasons with the San Francisco Symphony Youth Orchestra, serving as principal.

A recipient of the 2024 Frances Rosen Violin Prize at Colburn, Jason has won several major competitions in the United States and abroad, and has appeared as soloist with the San Francisco Symphony, Springfield Symphony and Colburn Orchestra. He has also performed chamber music with distinguished artists including Gidon Kremer, Gary Hoffman, Lawrence Power and Rachel Podger.

An avid collaborator, Jason is a founding member of Trio Caspar, the first Honors Chamber Music Ensemble in residence at Colburn, where he performs on both violin and viola. Deeply interested in historically informed performance, he has studied baroque violin and performed with leading early music ensembles. He has also appeared at renowned summer festivals such as Kronberg Academy’s Chamber Music Connects the World and Music@Menlo.

The young talents of recent editions are all pursuing brilliant musical careers.

The prize-winning singers have been invited to perform at some of the world’s leading opera houses, including New York’s Metropolitan Opera, Berlin’s Deutsche Opera, the Paris Opéra and London’s Covent Garden.

Some of our talented young instrumentalists, such as Pierre Génisson, Ismaël Margain and Pierre Fouchenneret, are now renowned soloists and sought-after chamber music partners.

Other instrumentalists have joined some of Europe’s leading orchestras: Johannes Grosso is now oboe soloist with the Frankfurt Opera and the Bayreuth Festival, flutist Mathilde Caldérini has been appointed principal flute with the Orchestre national de Lille and Laura Jaillet, the first winner of the Musique & Vin award, is now a member of the European Union Youth Orchestra.

The Trio Karénine recorded a highly acclaimed Schumann CD for the Aparté label thanks to a grant from Musique & Vin, and performs regularly.
