We're ready to go – press conference on the European Culture Prize

Cast off for culture! One year after the postponement of the European Culture Awards Gala due to the pandemic, this year's European Culture Awards will be presented on August 28, 2021 at the Bonn Opera House. We look forward to great award winners and first-class artists. The host of the culture prize gala is the Beethoven Orchestra Bonn, which has just been appointed UN climate ambassador, with its general music director Dirk Kaftan.

We are already just as grateful for this as we are to our partners – above all HALLMANN Holding and Deutsche Telekom AG. They are also the inspiration for the "Next Generation" prize, which is awarded for urgently needed innovations in digital education.
Under the patronage of the Prime Minister of North Rhine-Westphalia, Armin Laschet, the European Culture Prize will be presented on the occasion of the Beethoven anniversary in Bonn with the support of the Beethoven Anniversary Society. Numerous top-class artists come together on the large opera stage. Presenter and soprano Annette Dasch will lead through the evening together with the Beethoven Orchestra Bonn. Guests include Dasch's soprano colleague Diana Damrau, the Scorpions with a flashback to the freedom struggles after 1989, orchestrated especially for this evening, star trumpeter Till Brönner and acting legend Tobias Moretti and singer Katie Melua. The famous music producer Leslie Mandoki sees the Corona crisis as "a character test for all of us" and sends a musical message against division and for social cohesion.
