The young tuba soloist August Schieldrop has been awarded the prestigious Léonie Sonnings Talent Prize 2024 in the Instrumentalists category.
Since 1967, the Léonie Sonnings Musikfond has awarded scholarships to young composers, conductors, instrumentalists or singers alongside the major music prize to support their artistic development. August joins an impressive line-up of talent award recipients, which already includes big names such as the conductors Esa-Pekka Salonen and Michael Schønwandt, the trombone player Christian Lindberg, the composer Bent Sørensen and, more recently, the cellist Andreas Brantelid, the composer Simon Steen-Andersen and the soprano Lise Davidsen.
