embedded in theoretical advances, models and fundamental perspectives for an
improved understanding of the natural, social and artificial or technological
worlds, technological innovations and developments, and the creation of
outstanding works or new artistic or interpretative styles in contemporary
classical music. Awards also go to significant achievements that advance our
