The 2005 Nobel Festival in Stockholm Press release, December 1, 2005 The 2005 Nobel Festival in Stockholm Soon it will again be time for the Nobel Festival to light up the winter darkness. In keeping with tradition, this year’s Nobel Prize Award Ceremony and Nobel Banquet in Stockholm will take place on December 10, as they have done with a few exceptions since 1901. The Nobel Peace Prize will be awarded the same day in Oslo. The Nobel Day will begin with the Nobel Prize Award Ceremony at the Stockholm Concert Hall. The music in the program will be performed by the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra under the baton of Danish-Italian conductor Giordano Bellincampi. In addition, acclaimed Swedish-American soprano soloist Erika Sunnergårdh will perform works by Puccini and Verdi. This year Ms. Sunnergårdh has appeared at venues in Sweden, Spain and elsewhere. During the spring of 2006 she will make her make her Metropolitan Opera debut in New York as Leonore in Fidelio. The floral decorations at the Prize Award Ceremony will be arranged by florist Helén Magnusson of Hässelby Blommor, who will adorn the Concert Hall stage in winter décor. After the ceremony comes the evening’s Nobel Banquet at the Stockholm City Hall. This year’s chefs are freelancer Marcus Aujalay, Torsten Kjörling of Hotel Tylösand and Håkan Thörnström of the Gothenburg restaurant Thörnströms Kök. In charge of dessert, in co- operation with Dessertakademien, are Magnus Johansson of KonditorSpecialisten and Ted Johansson of Lux Dessertchoklad. In the process of composing the menu, the chefs have worked together with a reference group consisting of chefs Gert Klötzke, Björn Halling and Fredrik Eriksson, who reveal that this year’s concept is characterized by Nordic winds. According to Fredrik Eriksson, the aim is for Banquet guests to experience the best that Swedish and Norwegian cuisine has to offer. In keeping with tradition, the menu will be secret until the Banquet has begun at 7:00 p.m. In charge of ensuring that all parts of the meal are coordinated are Ulf Östenius, General Manager of the City Hall’s Stadshuskällaren restaurant and Gunnar Eriksson, the restaurant’s Chef de Cuisine. Without revealing the contents, it can be mentioned that the title of this year’s “Divertissement” at the Banquet is Floral Transformations. The divertissement was created by the duo of Carina Reich and Bogdan Szyber, who have worked together in the dramatic arts for 25 years and have created such works as Dying for Love at Stockholm’s House of Dance and Visions of Earthly Paradise at St. Peter’s Church in London. In charge of the musical element will be Allmänna Sången, Scandinavia’s oldest student choir, which is celebrating its 175th anniversary this year, led by conductor Cecilia Rydinger Alin. Among numerous prizes and honors received by the choir is first prize at the European Grand Prix choral contest earlier this year. Cecilia Rydinger Alin has also been awarded the Johannes Norrby Medal for her contributions to Swedish choral activities and the royal Litteris et Artibus Medal for her work in Swedish musical life, which she received from the hand of H.M. King Carl XVI Gustaf earlier this year. The flower arrangements at the Banquet will be dominated by lilies, roses, calla lilies and carnations in yellow, white and red, according to Gunnar Kaj, who is in charge of the floral decorations at the City Hall for the sixth consecutive year. Other assignments handled by Gunnar Kaj have been The Garden Festival at Sofiero Castle and Garden in Helsingborg last summer and the AutumnWinterRest stand at the 2003 Formex Fair in Stockholm. One event that has been re-introduced during the Nobel Week is the Nobel Prize Concert, arranged by Nobel Media AB. The concert, which will take place this year at the Stockholm Concert Hall on December 8, combines classical music and new music with inspiration from the Silk Road. World-renowned cellist Yo-Yo Ma will perform with the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra under the baton of Finnish conductor Sakari Oramo as well as The Silk Road Ensemble. This event is open to the general public, and tickets are on sale at the Concert Hall. The Nobel Week program will also include the Laureates’ Nobel Lectures and their press conferences and will conclude with individual visits by the Laureates at the Nobel Foundation on December 12.

  • Bozovic for Ginzburg Text+Figs
    On Ginzburg, Nobel, and atomic-layer engineering of room-temperature superconductors Ivan Bozovic Brookhaven National Laboratory, Upton NY 11973-5000, USA Writing about Vitaly Lazarevich Ginzburg is a difficult task for anyone, and for me in particular. His important contributions to physics were so many, and spread over such a wide range of fields and topics, that very few scientists are really qualified to write competently about his entire oeu- vre - and I regret not being one of these. I did not live close enough to him for a long enough time to be qualified to write about his life – his family, collaborators, and disciples can tell so much more. Hence, when Academician Maksimov asked me to write an article for the “collection of memoirs” that comprises this volume, I felt quite out of my depth. My only qualification is that I admired and loved both Vitaly Lazarevich and Nina Ivanovna Ginzburg. As I still do, as does eve- ryone in my family. They are simply wonderful people, we love them dearly, and we always felt that these feeling were reciprocated. Nina Ivanovna, perhaps because she had no children of her own, always showed some maternal love for Natasha, my wife, and Marijeta, our younger daugh- ter who is a scholar in Russian literature and who would visit Nina and Vitaly each time she passed through Moscow. You can feel the warmth radiating out of Photo 1, taken in the Ginzburg’s home about a year before their historic trip to Stockholm. This friendship and love is my most precious possession and this is where I wish to start my personal account.

The results outline key themes and historical trends. A a1111111111 dominant theme, common to most speeches, is the exaltation of science as a profession by a1111111111 the laureate. Since the 1970s, especially in chemistry, this element becomes more domain- specific and less related to science in general. One could speculate whether this happens chiefly in chemistry because its area of activity has been perceived to be at risk of erosion from competing fields (e.g. physics, biology). Over time, speeches become more technical, OPEN ACCESS less ceremonial and more lecture-oriented.
