A gala concert at the International Classical Music Awards: The ICMA took place on April 21, 2022, featuring a special concert at the Philharmonie Luxembourg. The award-winners themselves performed the concert program. Conductors Adam Fischer (Lifetime Achievement award) and Jakub Hrůša (Symphony Music award), violinists Julian Kainrath and Gennaro Cardaropoli (both Young Artist of the Year award winners), pianist Michael Korstick (Special Achievements award) and tenor Edgardo Rocha (Choir Music award) as well as the Orchestre Philharmonique du Luxembourg, which itself received the Contemporary Music award, all participated.

The International Classical Music Awards took place for the 12th time in 2022, with prizes in 26 categories. The jury was made up of representatives from 15 European countries. In addition to musicians, awards were also given to albums, labels and music documentaries.

Deutsche Welle also celebrated its win for the music documentary “A World Without Beethoven?” in the Video Documentaries category. The jury stated: “A world without Beethoven? It’s simply unimaginable. In Martin Roddewig’s film, the famous horn player Sarah Willis of the Berliner Philharmoniker travels through the realms of rock and classical music, jazz and film scores. In interviews with musicians and managers, the documentary shows how profoundly Beethoven’s innovations shaped the music of centuries to come. This film is witty and highly entertaining.”

“A World Without Beethoven?” is yet another music documentary that is not to be missed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ls5XWu4PhSs
