Congratulation to this year’s prize winner!

The annual prize ceremony of the Ernst von Siemens Music Foundation took place yesterday evening in Munich, where the Foundation’s Curatorium honored Jordi Savall for his life’s work. In its citation, the Foundation described Savall as an artist whose work has made early music a living and expressive presence, showing that historical sounds are not relics of the past, but bridges between people and eras.

The composers Bethan Morgan-Williams, Hovik Sardaryan, and Kitty Xiao, together with the ensembles NO HAY BANDA from Canada and Ensemble for New Music Tallinn, also received prizes
