2001

The POLAR MUSIC PRIZE was presented on Monday the 14th of May for the tenth consecutive year. The Prizewinners this year are Burt Bacharach, Robert Moog och Karlheinz Stockhausen.

The prize money is one million Swedish Crowns (approx US$ 100.000, € 110.000) to each Laureate.
They received their Prize from His Majesty The King of Sweden during a nationally-televised ceremony
at Berwaldhallen, Stockholm.

Each year, two Prizewinners are acknowledged but as the Prize celebrates its
tenth anniversary this year, three Laureates were being welcomed to Stockholm.
