An extraordinary weekend for classical music 👏

The 2026 OPUS KLASSIK broke every record to date: more submissions, more nominations and more tickets sold than ever before. The weekend celebrated the outstanding talent and the diversity that shapes classical music today.

Honoring artistic freedom. 🏆

Today, the city of Goslar presents the Kaiserring 2026 to Gabriele Stötzer in the Kaiserpfalz. Since 1975, the award has honored pioneers of contemporary art, from Joseph Beuys to Cindy Sherman.

Stötzer, born in 1953, is one of the most significant artists of our time and a key figure of the art and women’s movement in the GDR. Her work examines role attributions and power structures. The jury celebrates her as a trailblazer of artistic activism, and as a role model for younger generations of artists through her commitment to networking and collaboration.

Volkswagen Group has supported the laureate exhibitions at MÖNCHEHAUS MUSEUM GOSLAR since 2015, making outstanding art accessible to a wide audience in the region.

Congratulations, Gabriele Stötzer! 👏
