Announcing the ICMA Classeek Award

We are proud to announce our new collaboration with the International Classical Music Awards (ICMA). This year for the first time, the International Classical Music Awards (ICMA) will present a new award, the ICMA Classeek Award, to be presented during the Award Ceremony and Gala Concert at the National Forum of Music in Wroclaw (Poland), in April 2023.

At Classeek, we are thrilled to begin our collaboration with the ICMA, with whom we feel an alliance of passion to support both the highest level of artistry in combination with the next generation of artists. We are proud to present this new Classeek award in the 2023-24 season, and have the artists in connection with our programme, nominated in association with ICMA.

"Nowadays the competition between young talented musicians is very strong. We believe that the best should also receive and benefit from the best possible support! This is a common goal of ICMA as well as of Classeek. We have therefore added this new award to the already existing categories. It allows us to annually promote a young, outstanding musician chosen from a list of the open application finalists of Classeek’s flagship Ambassador Programme for talented artists. With our independent jury of 19 music critics from 16 different countries, we hope to strengthen the recognition of the winning musician. We are thrilled to organize this new award in close cooperation with Classeek and to develop profitable synergies between both organizations." - ICMA President, Remy Franck
