This year, the Foundation for Sacred Music and the Arts awarded its prize for Sacred Music to Pablo Colino, the Spanish master whose music has for years moved and inspired people to the beauty of drawing closer to God.
The prize is meant to recognize his important contributions to the field of sacred music throughout his life. In the same ceremony, Japanese director Tomomi Nishimoto, Austrian director Nikolaus Harnocourt and music benefactor Herbert Batliner also received awards.
