Where the OPUS KLASSIK Weekend Fits In
The Weekend is the live event tied to the awards:
- OPUS KLASSIK Concert — 10 October 2026, 19:30, Fotografiska Berlin. The site states this concert is already sold out.
- OPUS KLASSIK Gala — 11 October 2026, 15:45, Konzerthaus Berlin. Tickets for the gala were still available at the time of the announcement.
The programme and the ticket sales link are published on the site.
How to Check the Full Winner List
Because the site presents winners through news items and an overview page rather than a single static list, the practical route is:
- Open opusklassik.de.
- Go to the news section for the latest announcements (the Argerich and Lang Lang items are dated 2026).
- Use the overview of awarded artists and projects linked from those news items to see all winners and projects.
This matters if you are looking for a category not covered in the recent news, since the awards span more than 30 categories and only a few are highlighted on the homepage at any given time.
What Is Not Confirmed Here
The available page content names Argerich, Lang Lang, Kaufmann and Willis, but it does not list the complete 2026 winner roster by category. If you need a specific category result, treat the site's overview page as the authoritative source rather than the homepage headlines.
