price

Michael Sauter received the Suisa Foundation's film music award in 2012 for his film " Mary & Johny " for his compositions based on the film by Samuel Schwarz.

The price is very important to him because he worked for it for free. "I wanted to give something back to Samuel Schwarz for supporting me over the years." The result of his creativity is an unconventional work from a single source, which also convinced the jury.
