Exceptionally well.
Demis Volpi, an Argentine choreographer and ballet pedagogue, has been honoured with the prestigious Konex Award for Culture. This award, established by the Argentine Konex Foundation in 1980, recognises personalities and institutions for outstanding cultural achievements every ten years.
Volpi, who grew up in Argentina, is currently making waves in the world of opera and ballet. He is working on the choreography for Tobias Kratzer's new production of Rossini's "Guillaume Tell" at the Opéra de Lyon. In addition, he is preparing for a new role as director and chief choreographer of the Ballet am Rhein.
The Konex Award for Culture specifically honours artistic development. Volpi's exceptional work in the field of classical music and dance has earned him this recognition. However, it appears that the Konex Awards were not given for his work at the Opéra de Lyon or the Ballet am Rhein.
Mario Galizzi accepted the Konex Award for Culture on Volpi's behalf. Volpi, who holds Argentina deeply in his heart, expressed his hope that this award will lead to future opportunities to share his creations with his Argentine audience.
It's worth noting that the current recipient of the Konex Award for Culture in the category of Classical Music and Dance, as of 2025, is not explicitly listed in the available search results, and there is no information about where they will be active in the future.
The Konex Awards have ten annual categories, including sports, journalism, literature, and science. This diverse range of categories reflects the foundation's commitment to celebrating excellence across various fields.
Volpi's Konex Award is a testament to his dedication and passion for his craft. As he continues to create and inspire, we look forward to seeing what the future holds for this talented artist.
