The Foundation spokesman, Christian
Rapp, confirm this to ITRealms, saying the recognition of the duo of
personalities was based on their sustained personal commitment to supporting
and encouraging young talents by opening the door to future opportunities.
He said, that As part the 61st Meeting of Nobel Laureates to be held from Sunday, 26 June through July 1, would see the Honorary Senate composed of representatives of the scientific, business and political communities, and play a role in advising the Foundation Board of Directors.
The Foundation, he said, organises the
annual meetings of Nobel Laureates alongside its Board of Directors, whereas the
Founders Assembly of the Foundation is comprised of some 240 Laureates. 24
Nobelprizewinners and 570 young researchers from 80 countries are expected to
attend the 61st Nobel Laureate Meeting.
ITRealms gathered that Martin T:son Engstroem in his role as founder and guiding
light of the Verbier Festival & Academy has created an international forum
for the advancement of young musicians which, since 1991, has become one of the
most innovative music venues in Europe. The VerbierFestival Academy offers
young performers the opportunity to gain experience which will be of great
value in developing their careers. For
three weeks, the young musicians who meet the strict selection criteria take
part in daily master classes in which they are able to learn first-hand from
acknowledged virtuosi and broaden their horizons.
The significance of the Verbier Festival
& Academy for the musical world is comparable to that of the Nobel
Laureates Meetings for the international world of science. Both institutions share
the same values and goals of disseminating knowledge, inspiring young minds and
building networks. The Foundation Lindau Nobelprizewinners Meetings at Lake Constancewishes
to underscore these similarities by inducting Martin T:son Engstroem into its
Honorary Senate.
