The first recipient of the Koninklijk Conservatorium Rudi Martinus van Dijk Conductor’s Prize in The Hague will be the Cuban born conductor César Eduardo Ramos. The €5000 gift will be presented on June 12th, 2025 at the Amare Concert Hall in The Hague directly after Cesar’s final exam concert conducting the Residentie Orkest in a programme of Poulenc and Shostakovich. The prize is awarded to help fund the first year of a conductor’s artistic development after graduation, a time which can seem daunting for many young professional musicians embarking on a career. This will aid in attending masterclasses, travel to and from such masterclasses, visas, the purchase of musical scores, and other related projects connected to their professional artistic development.
