Current funding from the Ernst von Siemens Music Foundation
The Ernst von Siemens Music Foundation has awarded the Ensemble '25 sponsorship prizes and is now offering special funding for children's and youth projects.
The Ensemble '25 sponsorship awards go to the collective lovemusic ("a new perspective on new music") from Strasbourg and the Thai ensemble Tacet(i) around the composer Piyawat Louilarpprasert. The two prizes are endowed with 75,000 euros each. The foundation is awarding the prize for the fifth time in 2025. It supports outstanding young ensembles in their artistic and structural development. The ensembles will present themselves at the Beethovenfest in Bonn in the fall of 2025.
The deadline for applications for the Ensemble '26 awards is March 15, 2025.
Promotion of young talent
The Ernst von Siemens Music Foundation is now involved in promoting young musical talent. "The promotion of children and young people should be as broad-based as possible and not just reach participants who already have a musical background," it writes on its Website. It is supporting four educational projects for the 2025/26 concert season with 25,000 euros each. The application period runs from December 10, 2024 to January 31, 2025. Further information on the jury and the funding conditions can be found at published online (Link)
The foundation will also continue to fund projects. The application period for this runs from January 1 to March 1, 2025.
