Managing director Marie Ledin reflects on her father Stig Anderson's creation of the prestigious Polar Music Prize.
For three decades, dozens of the world’s most renowned musicians have flown to Stockholm at the invitation of the Polar Music Prize committee to accept this prestigious award from the hands of the King of Sweden.
It’s accurate to call the two main events of the Prize a “royal ceremony” and a “royal banquet,” as King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden is present for both and appears on stage to hand the Prize to the laureates. Ledin says that the King was enthusiastic about the Prize right from the beginning. “He loved the idea and the royal family has been very supportive, which we are very happy about.
The 2022 Polar Music Talks are scheduled for Monday . “This year I’m delighted that we have amazing speakers: Lyor Cohen, global head of music at YouTube; Diane Warren, laureate from 2020; Dr. Ahmad Sarmast from ANIM and 2018 laureate; and Ensemble Intercontemporain, this year’s laureate who will talk about their incomparable work in modern classical music. It’s so fascinating to listen to people drawn from different parts of the music world, and to hear their stories and experiences.
One of the most-asked questions about the Prize is how the laureates are chosen. “Every year starts a new process for the award committee, with its members putting forward their nominations for the following Polar Music Prize laureates,” award committee chairman Karabuda explains. “To this is added the many nominations received from the public, senior advisors and for some prizes we have the support of the International Music Council.
