Oct 08, 2024 | Sindberg Kommunikation ApS | Press release When the prize is awarded in 2025, it will be something quite special. For the first time, the prize will not be given to just one individual but to an ensemble. The recipients are the Danish String Quartet, who, since their debut 23 years ago, have established themselves as one of the world’s leading classical ensembles.
Gabriella Smith is a composer whose work invites listeners to find joy in climate action. Her music comes from a love of play, exploring new instrumental sounds, and creating musical arcs that transport audiences into sonic landscapes inspired by the natural world. An “outright sensation” (LA Times), her music "exudes inventiveness with a welcoming personality, rousing energy and torrents of joy” (NY Times).
