Ensemble Prize

Ernst von Siemens Music Foundation

1 March, 2025

The Ernst von Siemens Music Foundation supports festivals, concerts with premiere and repeat performances, commissions, symposiums and musicological publications worldwide.

Another concern of the Music Foundation is the promotion of academies for young musicians and composers. In addition, the Music Foundation supports musical appreciation, children’s and youth projects which make New Music accessible to a new or young audience. The Board of Trustees awards funding to exceptionally high-quality projects from the many applications it receives. Projects large and small carry equal weight.

Next application deadline for Funding Projects: January 1, 2025
