Marie Samuelsson is awarded the Rosenberg Prize
Marie Samuelsson is awarded the Rosenberg Prize, established in 1982 by the Swedish Composers' Association. The prize money is SEK 100,000.
The motivation reads: "Marie Samuelsson is awarded the Rosenberg Prize for an artistry that, with her unique voice and sonic imagination, has enriched the Swedish music scene. Her music unites human and natural themes with a distinctive power and musical integrity. With a deep presence in the present, she weaves together the intimate and monumental, and builds a timeless sound world that resonates both nationally and internationally. As a committed teacher, she has also devotedly conveyed her knowledge to new composers and contributed to a future for art music in Sweden."
– It is a unique moment for a composer to receive the fine Rosenberg Prize and I am so deeply happy about this recognition. It is an honor to now join the ranks of brilliant composers who have previously received the prize. I would like to extend a warm and heartfelt thank you to FST. The Rosenberg Prize in itself means a confirming look back, but also an encouraging move forward towards the creation of new music, says Marie Samuelsson .
