The OPUS KLASSIK is a German music award for personalities and productions in the field of classical music. The OPUS KLASSIK is the successor award to the Echo Klassik (1994–2017). The organizer of the award, which honors outstanding classical artists and recordings, is the newly founded Association for the Promotion of Classical Music e.V., which includes music labels, organizers, publishers, and individuals with influence in classical music. The OPUS KLASSIK is awarded by a specialist jury. The jury selects the award winners and distinguished recordings from a variety of outstanding nominations in various categories. Like the Echo trophy, the trophy for the OPUS KLASSIK was developed and designed by Oliver Renelt. It represents a tuning fork. The music award is presented in a concert and a gala in October at the Konzerthaus Berlin.
