The Europäischen Komponistenpreis 2024 has been awarded to a young Turk, Ege Gür. He is 26.

Berlin’s Culture Secretary Sarah Wedl-Wilson presented the 5,000 euros award to the composer on Monday in the Berlin Konzerthaus.

Gür’s latest orchestral work ‘the image of the invisible’ commemorates victims of last year’s Turkey and Syria earthquakes.
