The piece that the Swiss representative will perform at Eurovision Young Musicians 2026 has been revealed by the Swiss broadcaster SRF.
SRF has revealed that Manoush Toth will perform the third movement from Clara Schumann’s Piano Concerto in A minor, Op. 7, at Eurovision Young Musicians 2026. Clara Schumann was a German pianist and composer who composed the piece between 1834 and 1835. Manoush commented on the piece:
“Clara Schumann wrote the third movement of her piano concerto at just 13 years old. For me, it is a particular joy to perform this fantastic piano concerto on this important stage with a wonderful orchestra and conductor.
I recently heard the orchestra here in Basel, with the same conductor. And I thought both the orchestra and the conductor were incredibly wonderful. That’s why I’m so excited to make music with them.”
19-year-old Manoush Toth will represent Switzerland this June in Eurovision Young Musicians 2026. The pianist was selected in March to represent Switzerland in Armenia. A pre-selection was held to review all the applications with seven musicians invited to the radio hall at the SRF campus in Zurich-Leutschenbach to perform for a jury. The jury that selected the overall winner was formed of bassoonist Valeria Curti, pianist Oliver Schnyder, violinist Meret Lüthi, and classical music influencer Sumina Studer.
SRF has revealed that across radio and television, a series of shows will follow Manoush’s participation in Eurovision Young Musicians. The final will air on SRF 1 and Play SRF from 22:10 CET on June 6, with the show airing on Radio SRF 2 Kultur on June 7 from 16:00 CEST.
