Prize-winners' concert “Salzburg Music Award 2009”
Awards & Mentions:
Pasticcio Prize for the SCAD Box “Salzburg Biennale 2009”
The Pasticcio Prize of July goes to a CD with contemporary music from the NEOS label: the first Salzburg Biennale for New Music in the city of Mozart is documented on four SACDs and 2 DVDs.
What is the pasticcio price?
The prize was founded in January 2003 by the Ö1 journalist Helmut Jasbar and is awarded ten times a year on the last Thursday of the month on Radio Austria 1 in the program “Pasticcio” (on weekdays from 8.15 a.m. to 8.55 a.m.) and goes to musicians who are in Austria a have released interesting CDs in the field of classic/crossover.
What began as a nameless recognition award quickly grew into an interesting contribution to preserving the diversity of Austrian cultural life. Jasbar, who is himself an internationally recognized musician, curator and composer, has developed the "Pasticcio Prize" over the years into a respectable brand that enjoys recognition throughout Austria.
How is the Pasticcio Prize awarded?
The jury, which combs through the range of local music productions in the fields of classical and crossover on a monthly basis, currently consists of five experts. The ensemble and musicians selected by the jury, as well as their recommended CD, are honored in detail on the last Thursday of each month in the program “Pasticcio”; a copy of the CD will be given away to interested Ö1 listeners.
Who are the winners of the Pasticcio Prize?
Requirements:
The beneficiaries are musicians (based in Austria) who have attracted attention over the past two years with a CD release that documents exceptional musicality and thematically interesting concepts.
Productions that have been released on "Independent Labels" are preferred, as these
1. have low advertising budgets.
2. Be led by people who appreciate art and whose idealism often approaches that of the musicians.
3. make a significant contribution to the diversity of musical culture through their high-quality publications.
The musicians not only represent themselves, but also their colleagues, who do not find it easy to assert themselves against the superiority of larger countries with their significantly stronger media industries. The award winners stand for a lively Austrian musical culture that represents this country worldwide and whose achievements (also for "Austria as a location") can hardly be overestimated and therefore absolutely have to be looked after and promoted.
In addition, the Pasticcio Prize also conveys the concern that the interested public learn more about the work and the wealth of the Austrian music scene.
Why a music award?
In this way, Austria, a land of culture and music, promotes its young generation, who will continue to positively influence the image of this country throughout the world in the future, which is good for both the economy (positive associations with Austria as a location) and cultural exports.
