Sven Regener receives the Paul Lincke Ring
Many big names in the German music scene have already been awarded the Paul Lincke Ring. This year the jury is awarding the City of Goslar Music Prize to a “poetic specialist”.
“His texts are shaped by personal passions and he draws a landscape of the soul using simple terms,” said Goslar’s mayor Urte Schwerdtner, according to a statement distributed in advance, at the New Year’s reception in the Hahnenklee district. When the award ceremony will take place there and whether the Bremen-born artist will play and sing on site is currently being clarified, the statement continued.
The prize is named after the German operetta composer Paul Lincke (1866-1946) and is awarded at his place of death, the Hahnenklee district of Goslar. Previous winners included Udo Lindenberg, Max Raabe and Helge Schneider and most recently Annett Louisan.
