The POLAR MUSIC PRIZE was presented on Monday, 23rd May, for the fourteenth year in
succession. The prizewinners were the German baritone Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau (who was
unable to attend and therefore represented in Stockholm by his nephew Dr. Thomas
Fischer-Dieskau) and the Brazilian musician Gilberto Gil.
The prize-giving ceremony took place in the Stockholm Concert Hall. The subsequent
banquet and party was being held in the Winter Garden at Grand Hôtel and Berns in
Stockholm respectively.
