Jan 20, 2016 | Sabine Wiedemann News International Classical Music Award for audite

The ICMA jury consists of professional music critics of important magazines, online services and radio stations: Andante (Turkey), Crescendo (Belgium), Fono Forum (Germany), Gramofon (Hungary), HRT (Croatia), IMZ (Austria), Kultura (Russia) MDR-Figaro (Germany), Musica (Italy), Musik & Theater (Switzerland), Opera (UK), Orpheus Radio (Russia), Pizzicato (Luxembourg), Radio 100,7 (Luxembourg), Resmusica.com (France), Rondo Classic (Finland), and Scherzo (Spain).

ICMA President Remy Franck says: "Only an international jury like ours can get, at the end, such an impressive international result with productions from 15 labels and nine different countries. According to our criteria only really outstanding recordings are allowed to win a prize, and to get there, we will certainly never be misled by any chart rankings or the whatsoever popularity of artists. At ICMA, also less known musicians and smaller independent labels have a chance. It's all about musical quality and integrity!"

We are very happy about this prestigious award!

​The Award Ceremony and Gala Concert will take place on April 1, at the Kursaal in San Sebastián, hosted by the Orquesta de Euskadi (Basque National Orchestra) and San Sebastián European Capital of Culture 2016.
