The commission prize is given for the best interpretation of the first performance the commissioned piece Shining Through, which went down very well with the musicians, jury and not least the audience! The piece was written by composer Ellen Lindquist, who was present at all five performances.

The jury had a tough task, there was a consistently high level of performance.
