The Ernst von Siemens Music Prize 2025 - considered the "Nobel Prize of Music" - will be awarded to the British-German conductor Sir Simon Rattle. The 2025 composition prizes, each worth 35,000 euros, will go to the Iranian-Canadian composer Ashkan Behzadi, Bastien David from France and the Norwegian Kristine Tjøgersen.
He is one of the most important and influential conductors of our time, according to the Ernst von Siemens Music Foundation's award committee. Rattle stands for outstanding interpretations, openness to different musical genres and an incomparable commitment to communication work. Rattle would like to use the prize money of 250,000 euros to build up an original sound ensemble for the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra.
