Paul Hindemith Prize of the City of Hanau
The City of Hanau's Paul Hindemith Prize is a music prize that has been awarded every two years by the city of Paul Hindemith's birth since 2000. The award suggested by Alois Kottmann was called the Paul Hindemith Prize for Art and Humanity of the City of Hanau until 2004 . Since an agreement in 2005, the city has awarded the prize together with the Hindemith Foundation in Blonay (Switzerland) .
With this award, the city of Hanau wants to honor and honor “the life's work of this great artist and his approach to music”. It consists of a silver medal and is endowed with 10,000 euros.
The prize should not be confused with the Hindemith Prize , which has been awarded as part of the Schleswig-Holstein Music Festival since 1990.
