The Léonie Sonning Music Foundation is, as the most prestigious Danish music foundation, very happy to congratulate FanFaire on its first anniversary. We have been most satisfied with our co-operation and we are impressed with the eagerness and interest you have shown the Foundation by writing about the Foundation and this year’s prize winner, Ms. Hildegard Behrens, with such involvement and objectivity, yet very readable. We hope to continue our fruitful co-operation with regard to next year’s prize winner, Ms. Sofia Gubajdulina, and we are hoping that also other events of the Scandinavian music life will find their way to your excellent site on the Internet Yours sincerely, Poul Jørgensen President Léonie Sonning Music Foundation
