We congratulate Marie Jacquot on winning a Victoires de la Musique Classique Award in the category „Discovery / Conductor“ at this year’s „Victoires de la Musique Classique“. Marie Jacquot has gained international appreciation through numerous very successful debuts as well as through her consistent musical work and her broad repertoire. Most recently, her appointment as the future Chief Conductor of the Wdr-Sinfonieorchester met with an enthousiastic response. That she now receives this important music prize in her home country makes the Frenchwoman particularly happy.
