The highest Polish distinction of its type was presented to the great violinist at a ceremony on Sunday at the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage in Warsaw.

The gala was attended by the German ambassador to Poland, Rolf Nikel, as well as famous composer Krzysztof Penderecki and his wife Elżbieta.

Gliński said that Mutter was a friend of Poland and had a deep understanding of Polish-German relations.

“Her activities in the field of Polish-German relations in culture, and not only culture, cannot be overestimated,” Gliński said.
