Support for innovative projects primarily focused on contemporary music from classical modernism onwards. Promotion of projects that, in addition to or as a continuation of state-supported training opportunities, enable in-depth training. Excluded are supports in the field of folk music as well as financial contributions to major cultural events, conservatories, music schools, and universities of music. The foundation supports projects fundamentally only when they receive no or completely insufficient financial assistance from third parties. The foundation is non-profit and does not pursue a commercial purpose.
