Paul McCartney to come to Israel in May to receive prize

The President’s Residence announces that Sir Paul McCartney, of Beatles fame, will be awarded the Wolf Prize for Music “for his seminal contribution to music in the modern era.”

In a press release, a spokesman for President Rivlin says McCartney and the other recipients are expected to arrive in Israel for the award ceremony and a series of related events at the end of May.

He will share the music prize with conductor Adam Fischer, whom the press release describes as an “eloquent defender of human rights.”
