Johannes Brahms Medal

The Johannes Brahms Medal (German: Johannes-Brahms-Medaille) of Hamburg is a music award established in 1928, named after the composer Johannes Brahms who was born in Hamburg.[1]

The medal is given irregularly by the Senat der Freien und Hansestadt Hamburg to artists who contributed to musical life in Hamburg, especially devoted to music by Brahms. The medal shows a portrait of the composer. It was designed by the Hamburg sculptor Friedrich Wield.[2] Until 1935 it was primarily given to German or Austrian composers, and for services to the musical life of Hamburg. But in 1935 international members of the Permanent Council organising Hamburg's International Festival were all awarded medals.[3]

gollark: That would kind of defeat the point of the trolley problem.
gollark: That post and the comments seem to provide a decent enough explanation, yes.
gollark: You would expect *some* other stargate network, since it was discovered... a few thousand years, or something, ~~since~~ before the present day in-setting and technology has improved since then.
gollark: And why hasn't someone else tried to/succeeded in figuring out the wormholes?
