Josefine Weber Hansen was awarded the Léonie Sonning Talent Prize in 2025, in recognition of her multifaceted artistry as a singer, violist and composer.
The Léonie Sonning Foundation annually awards the Talent Prizes to ten exceptional young musicians, composers, singers, or ensembles from Denmark and the Nordic countries, who show outstanding promise in classical music and related fields. Each prize, worth DKK 100,000, is granted by the foundation’s board and cannot be applied for.
On the occasion of the award, Hansen recorded a music video featuring the two songs, Stormen and Sången om oceanen, set to poems by Edith Södergran. The video was produced by Millimeter Productions.
