Vladimír Godár has been awarded the International Visegrad Prize for 2009, following a proposal from the Ministry of Culture of the Slovak Republic. The prize will be awarded on 7 April, when a concert of his music by Capella Istropolitana takes place in Bratislava under the baton of Peter Breiner. It includes the Concerto Grosso and a new version of Little Suite for Little David (for violin, cello and chamber orchestra).
