Trude Eipperle Rieger Award 2026
Josefina Legarra and Aaron Selig will receive the music award for young singers
Josefina Legarra and Aaron Selig – two young people with exceptional voices. On 15 October, they will be honoured with the 2026 Trude Eipperle Rieger Prize for vocal talent and the associated prize money.
The guest speaker at the award ceremony will be Prof. Dr Andrea Wechsler MEP, a long-standing university professor, European politician and President of Europa-Union Germany.
The generously endowed Trude Eipperle Rieger Prize has been awarded since 2005 by the Trude Eipperle Rieger Foundation in cooperation with the Kapfenburg Castle Foundation and the International Hugo Wolf Academy in Stuttgart. Established as a legacy by the soprano Trude Eipperle Rieger (1908–1997), the prize supports young singers who demonstrate exceptional vocal talent in the field of classical and contemporary art songs. Previous winners include internationally successful artists such as Johannes Kammler, Niamh O’Sullivan and the Calmus Ensemble.

"Bares für Rares" at Kapfenburg castle
At the festival opening, Albert Maier will present a hidden treasure for a good cause.
Kapfenburg Castle is a home to music, education, art and culture. Our historic walls also harbour an odd treasure or two. Since the foundation was established, it has repeatedly been gifted with historic paintings. Some of these works have, until now, led a hidden existence in the castle’s attics or cellars, even though they are far too valuable to be left in a state of slumber, hidden away from the public eye.
This gave rise to the idea of bringing one of these paintings back into the spotlight – for a good cause. Albert Maier, one of Germany’s best-known art and antiques experts, has been enlisted to provide expert assessment. He will present the selected work during the festival opening, explain its art-historical significance and offer fascinating insightsto the world of antiques and hidden treasures. This will be followed by a silent auction, during which guests can submit their bids. By purchasing the antique painting, the buyer is making a sustainable investment in the castle, as the proceeds will go towards the refurbishment of the 52 guest rooms at Kapfenburg Castle as part of the ‘Rooms for the Future’ initiative.
