Congratulations to Michala Petri, and the five other award recipients, who last night received the prestigious Carl Nielsen and Anne Marie Carl Nielsen Honorary Award.The ceremony took place in Carl Nielsen Concert Hall in Odense, and the audience was to witness one of the most significant events of the year in Danish classical music. A display of diversity and artistic expression at the highest international level. Three young composers Bára Gísladóttir, Kirstine Lindemann Sørensen and Signe Lykke, all of whom are making their mark both nationally and internationally, and three soloists who all belong to the very top of the international league recorder player Michala Petri accordionist Bjarke Mogensen and bass singer Stephen Milling. The feeling one is left with is that Denmark truly holds its own on the international stage.
Thanks to the Foundation for supporting and recognizing Danish composers and musicians, and thanks to Odense Symfoniorkester and conductor Brad Lubman.
