On Monday, July 7, 2025, the Dingolfing-Landau district's cultural awards for 2024 were presented at the town hall in Landau Isar. The jazz band "Blues Briederchen" received the Culture Prize. Rudi Scharl and his hunting horn ensemble received the Cultural Promotion Prize. Florian Wagner won the Youth Culture Prize. Compared to recent years, it is rare for the Culture Prize to be awarded to an individual. As the sole recipient, Florian Wagner is currently the officially leading musician in the Dingolfing-Landau district. The jury primarily selected Florian Wagner for his musical professionalism, his extensive musical involvement in the Dingolfing-Landau district, his international reach on social media, and his diverse performances as a solo singer and concert pianist with orchestras, choirs, children's choirs, bands, audience participation, and solo. Wagner's teaching activities as a music teacher—alongside his law studies—were also highlighted. The jury particularly emphasized the musical style Florian Wagner pioneered: "Multitasking music," which involves singing and playing several songs and pieces on multiple instruments simultaneously. Florian Wagner, from Landau Isar, is considered the world's best in the field of multitasking music. The three prize winners received prize money from a total pool of €5,250.

At 6:00 p.m., District Administrator Werner Bumeder and the organizers of the 34th Dingolfing-Landau District Cultural Prize ceremony invited guests to a festive evening lasting several hours, featuring top-class music, laudatory speeches, and a celebratory dinner. Former award winners—musicians, artists, and actors—as well as the jury, sponsors, mayors from the Dingolfing-Landau district, politicians, families and friends of the award winners, and other distinguished guests gathered to honor and celebrate this year's recipients: Florian Wagner, "Blues Briederchen," and Rudi Scharl.

At the start of the cultural award ceremony, Rudi Scharl and his hunting horn ensemble kicked off the festive event with an opening piece. This was followed by speeches and laudatory addresses from Werner Bumeder and the other presenters. Interspersed throughout the program, Florian Wagner performed the classical pieces "Morning Mood" and "In the Hall of the Mountain King" from Edvard Grieg's first Peer Gynt Suite on the piano with musical perfection, and also sang Bruce Hornsby's "The Way It Is" on the piano, showcasing his renowned mastery of both piano technique and vocals. The Blues Briederchen and Rudi Scharl with his hunting horn ensemble also contributed songs and pieces. After entertaining thank-you speeches, the official two-and-a-half-hour evening concluded with a multi-course banquet for all attendees, which, like the prize money, was sponsored by the Lower Bavaria savings bank. The celebrations continued late into the night at the Landau town hall.
