Special Prize of the Hindemith Foundation
The Deutsche Musikwettbewerb des Deutschen Musikrats [German music competition held by the German Music Council] took place in Leipzig from 5 to 15 March 2025. Again, the Fondation Hindemith offered a special prize in the amount of 3.000 euro for the most convincing interpretation of a work by Paul Hindemith. The prize was awarded this year to Moë Dierstein (violin) who played Hindemith's Sonata for violin alone op. 31 Nr. 2 (1924). She is also the recipient of the Deutsche Musikwettbewerb Prize.
Moë Dierstein was born into a German-Japanese family of musicians in 2005. She had her first lessons with Susanne Falk at the age of 3 and was subsequently accepted into the Pflüger Foundation in Freiburg, where she was mentored by Ariane Mathäus, Prof. Marschner and Prof. Kussmaul. At the age of 11, she joined Prof. Simone Zgraggen's class at the MHS Freiburg. She is currently studying with Prof. Antje Weithaas at the Hanns Eisler Berlin. Moë's great passion for baroque music was shaped by the Landesjugendbarock-Orchester BW, of which she has been a member and permanent concertmaster since 2018 (CD recordings as soloist of Brescianello and JC Bach). Moë has had numerous successes at international and national competitions (prizes at: Jugend Musiziert/Eduard-Söring Prize, musica goritiensis, Tibor Junior, Kloster Schöntal Competition, Louis Spohr Competition). Moë plays a violin by Camillus Camilli (Mantua, 1742) from the Deutsche Stiftung Musikleben.
