2016 Genesis Prize
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 2016 Genesis Prize was awarded to Israeli-American violinist Itzhak Perlman. This was the third awarding of the Genesis Prize.
Perlman[1] was awarded the Prize after Michael Bloomberg received it in 2014[2] and Michael Douglas[3] in 2015. He was chosen for his "story of overcoming extraordinary personal challenges to excel as one of the world's great musicians and humanitarians."[4][5]
