Federal government sees "Young Talents Music" program on course for success
In 2024, 16 cantons took part in the federal funding program for children and young people with above-average musical potential. 1190 talented youngsters received federal funding.
According to the federal government's press release, ten cantons are still in the process of setting up the program. The two-year pilot phase has thus been successfully completed. The program is now in the consolidation phase.
672 of the sponsored talents are male, 517 female, 1 diverse. The ages of the children and young people range from 4 to 25. 972 young musicians are active in the field of classical music, 207 perform jazz, pop, rock and contemporary music, and 11 are active in folk music.
The "Young Talents in Music" funding programme, which was developed by the Federal Office of Culture (FOC) from 2021 in collaboration with the cantons, municipalities, cities and music organizations, aims to provide sustainable support for children and young people with above-average musical potential in line with their needs.
