Progressive Classical Music Award

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Progressive Classical Music Award , which was called the Crossover Composition Award until 2019 , is an international prize for pieces of music for two violins that is presented every three years in the Reiss-Engelhorn-Museum in Mannheim . It was founded in 2009 by Marie-Luise and Christoph Dingler (known as " The Twiolins ") to expand and promote the genre of pieces for violin duo. After a preselection, the pieces will only be anonymously rated by the audience. Due to its importance for the Rhine-Neckar metropolitan region, the Helene Hecht Prize 2012 was given to Marie-Luise Dingler for the Crossover Composition Award .

procedure

First of all, six pieces will be selected by a jury that includes music professors and composers as well as the two initiators. These six pieces are played to the audience without the composer being named. The audience then votes on the pieces.
