Patti Smith (73), American punk and rock musician and poet, will be honored with the International Beethoven Prize 2020. She received the award, endowed with 10,000 euros, for her commitment to human rights, peace, freedom, poverty reduction, inclusion and climate protection, as announced by the Beethoven Academy as the host one day before the celebrations for Beethoven's 250th birthday. The award ceremony is scheduled for June 7th. Smith gave countless protest and benefit concerts for AIDS victims, the democracy movement in the USA and against the Iraq war, so the reasoning. #PattySmith #BeethovenPrice #Beethoven
