Past winners of the Prize include: Mother Teresa, Nelson Mandela, Mikhail Gorbachev, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Barack Obama, Kofi Annan and Al Gore.
For the past 18 years, the Nobel Peace Prize Ceremony has been followed by a Nobel Peace Prize Concert, a musical celebration honoring the laureate. The concert is presented by the Nobel Peace Prize Concert AS, produced by IMG in cooperation with Eyeworks Dinamo and broadcast to a global audience.

The Italian trio of Piero Barone, Ignazio Boschetto and Gianluca Ginoble have also worked with Barbra Streisand a moment for them that they described as being "very exciting."
