The violinist Anne-Sophie Mutter is without doubt one of the most internationally renowned German classical music stars of our time. In her more than 40 years of concert activity, her program has regularly included not only the classical repertoire but also highly acclaimed world premieres and film scores. In addition to her own stage career, which has taken her to all the major renowned stages over the years, Mutter is also committed to promoting young musical talent through her own foundations.
The violinist has received numerous international awards for her outstanding musical and social commitment and her cultural achievements, including four Grammy Awards as well as the Mendelssohn Prize, the Great Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany, the Bavarian Order of Merit, the Great Austrian Medal of Honor, and the French Order of the Legion of Honor.
Like all artists, Anne-Sophie Mutter has been affected by the pandemic-related break in performance. In order to draw attention to the disastrous situation in the music business, Mutter, together with some of her scholarship recipients, performed sporadically at church services and solicited donations for the emergency relief fund of the German Orchestra Foundation.
