Bent Fabricius-Bjerre 
as the recipient of the 2017

Bent Fabricius-Bjerre is one of the most famous and beloved composers in the Nordic region. His career spans more than seven decades, and his countless themes are part of the curriculum in music schools; performed by musicians of all ages and all levels worldwide. For many, he's composed the soundtrack of our lives, and at age 92, he still remains active as a film composer. The Guiness Book of Records is currently considering him for the position of "the oldest active film composer in the World". See more here and meet Bent Fabricius-Bjerre in this video.
