Message from Ms. Tomoko Sawallisch, Representative of the Wolfgang Sawallisch Foundation in Japan
“It is a great honor for us to present this award to Mr. Bokyeon Hwang, whose performance in this year’s Grand Final demonstrated the artistic maturity of a professional musician, underpinned by a profound understanding of music. We are very much looking forward to welcoming him to the Sawallisch Music Academy in Grassau and hearing him perform there.
At the same time, I would like to express my sincere respect for the OSAKA International Music Competition, which has fostered a deep appreciation of music education over many years and has consistently embraced the spirit of diversity and inclusiveness. I wish the Competition continued growth and success in the years to come.”
Further details regarding the recital will be announced on the Sawallisch Foundation’s concert information page once they have been finalised.
