Germany cancels composer awards
mainGEMA, the German equivalent of PRS, has cancelled the Musikautorenpreis (German Composers Award) this Thursday, ‘based on the risk assessment by the Robert Koch Institute, the WHO and the Berlin health authorities’.
The Musikauturenpreis is one the leading awards for composers and music lyricists in Germany, recognising all genres and styles.
My fly on the wall informs me that in most German Länder, composers have stopt composing because of the corona virus. They sit still in their studio and contemplate life.
That may be kinder to the audiences, if they exist.

One hopes they’ve only canceled the ceremonies and not the awards themselves…

Yes, it’s another needlessly dramatic title from SD
