For outstanding social commitment<\/strong><\/p>\n Baden-W\u00fcrttemberg’s Minister President Winfried Kretschmann awarded Anne-Sophie Mutter the Grand Staufer Medal in Gold in Stuttgart on Tuesday, 11 February 2025. In his laudatory speech, the Minister President honoured Mutter’s global career as a violinist and her outstanding social commitment, particularly in the promotion of young musical talent.<\/p>\n “Anne-Sophie Mutter has been dedicated, focussed and persistent in her commitment to the common good for decades, for the common good,\u201d said the Minister President. \u201cShe is passionately interested in others. Her music is about creating encounters. In doing so, she enables community in which people can experience themselves as part of a greater whole – regardless of where they come from and what characterises them,\u201d said Kretschmann. He drew a comparison with liberal democracy, which is also about listening, learning from each other and creating meaning.<\/em><\/p>\n Kretschmann also emphasised her commitment to the Anne-Sophie Mutter Foundation for young, highly talented musicians. In addition, she repeatedly takes a stand on social issues, such as the coronavirus crisis or climate and species protection. Thus for example, in 2024 she supported the \u201cDay of Nature Conservation\u201d launched by the Baden-W\u00fcrttemberg \u201cBiodiversity Day\u201d launched by the Baden-W\u00fcrttemberg Nature Conservation Association. And she regularly gives benefit concerts to help people in need.<\/p>\n The Staufer Medal is a special, personal honour awarded by the Minister President of Baden-W\u00fcrttemberg for services to the state and its people. The Staufer Medal, which was created in 1977, is usually awarded in silver, in rare cases also in gold.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" For outstanding social commitment Baden-W\u00fcrttemberg’s Minister President Winfried Kretschmann awarded Anne-Sophie Mutter the Grand Staufer Medal in Gold in Stuttgart on Tuesday, 11 February 2025.
