What kind of artists does tomorrow's world need? Artists who not only excel at music, but also take on social responsibility – that is the conviction of the Kronberg Academy, which is presenting the “Pablo Casals Award 2025,” sponsored by Flossbach von Storch, to violinist Midori for her social and educational commitment. As part of the award ceremony, the exceptional violinist will also give a musical performance – with Felix Mendelssohn's sparkling, vibrant violin concerto. Experience an artist who shows attitude and lets us forget the world through music – on October 5 at the Casals Forum.

As part of the concert, the PABLO CASALS AWARD - FOR A BETTER WORLD 2025 will be presented to violinist Midori for her commitment to social and educational projects, including “Midori & Friends” and “Music Sharing”.
