组委会主席Stefano De Martino
"This is the first time since the inception of the Premio Lunezia that the honor has been awarded to a musician 'without lyrics.' Master Wuyue’s music and Zen essence have long transcended linguistic boundaries, becoming a bridge between soul and art. He is also the first Chinese musician in the award’s history to receive this distinction. Master Wuyue is a truly charismatic individual."

"We greatly admire their integration of art and social responsibility and look forward to future collaborations with them."
"Working with the Wuyue Symphony Orchestra allowed me to experience the ultimate charm of music. Master Wuyue’s music perfectly blends Eastern and Western elements, preserving Eastern philosophical wisdom while showcasing the passion and freedom of Western music. Collaborating with such an orchestra is truly a rare and invaluable experience."
"The art presented by the Wuyue Symphony Orchestra is exceptional: it possesses the depth of Eastern culture and the power of Western symphonic structure. Master Wuyue does not merely perform music—he conveys a philosophy of peace, awakening, and humanity. Such artistry is an exceedingly precious presence on the contemporary European stage."
Musical notes are poetry that transcends borders; Zen and symphony together build bridges of peace. Master Shi Wuyue and the Wuyue Symphony Orchestra dissolve barriers through art and call for empathy through melody. May this musical essence from the East continue to sow seeds of understanding and tranquility in hearts across the world.
Let us look forward to the "2026 World&Prace Culture and Arts Festival," where dialogue among civilizations will once again allow music to become an eternal messenger of peace.
