“The Polar Music Prize 2012 is awarded to Paul Simon. Nobody else is more deserving of the epithet of “world-class songwriter.” For five decades, Paul Simon has built bridges not only over troubled waters but over entire oceans by (re)joining the world’s continents with his music. With consummate skill, innovative arrangements and provocative lyrics that never fail to capture the currents of his age, Paul Simon has compiled a library of songs which will remain open to future generations.”
On Monday, August 27 and Tuesday, August 28 the 2012 Polar Music Talks & Sessions will take place at the newly renovated grand cinema theatre Rigoletto at Kungsgatan 16, Stockholm. These will be two days of conversations and interviews with creativity and curiosity in focus. This year’s master of ceremonies will be Ola Ahlvarsson.
