Hindemith Prize goes to Anne Luisa Kramb
In addition to other prizes, 22-year-old violinist Anne Luisa Kramb also received an award from the Hindemith Foundation.
According to a press release, the Hindemith Foundation in Blonay/Vaud has for the first time awarded a "prize for the most convincing interpretation of a work by Paul Hindemith" as part of the German Music Competition. The prize is endowed with 3000 euros. It is combined with a concert performance in the Kuhhirtenturm, Hindemith's Frankfurt residence in the 1920s. The foundation is thus paying tribute to violinist Anne Luisa Kramb, who played Hindemith's Solo Sonata op. 31 No. 2 as part of the German Music Competition. According to Foundation President Andreas Eckhardt, the violinist interpreted the work with both expressive emphasis and playful ease and had a strong emotional impact on the audience. Anne Luisa Kramb is 22 years old and studies at the Hanns Eisler Academy of Music in Berlin with Antje Weithaas. In addition to the Hindemith Prize, she also won the German Music Competition Prize and the Bonn Rotary Music Prize as part of the competition in August 2022.
