Neuchâtel honors Hyun-Jung Lim
The pianist Hyun-Jung Lim and the Botanical Garden of Neuchâtel are awarded the Prix interculturel neuchâtelois Salut l'étranger by the canton, which was founded in 1995. It honors achievements in the fields of intercultural understanding and coexistence.
Born in South Korea in 1986, Hyun-Jung Lim studied with distinction at the conservatories of Compiègne and Rouen. She also won first prize at the Conservatoire national supérieur de musique de Paris. In Neuchâtel, the internationally active virtuoso is involved in numerous charitable institutions and actively organizes encounters between members of different cultures. The prize is endowed with 4000 francs.
With this year's prize, the Neuchâtel State Council has set itself the goal of drawing attention to current threats in the canton's political life. In particular, it is supporting an initiative for an open and non-discriminatory administration.
