About the funder

The Dr. Hoch’s Conservatory Foundation – Music Academy Frankfurt am Main is a non-profit, legally recognized foundation under civil law based in Frankfurt am Main. Founded in 1878 by Dr. Joseph Hoch, it offers a comprehensive range of training from early musical education (PreCollege and ANE) to the academic degree "Bachelor of Music." Under one roof, the conservatory unites departments for Early Music, Jazz & Popular Music, Contemporary Art Music (Composition), Elementary Music Education, a ballet school, and the Bachelor's degree program. The state-recognized study department is equivalent to a university degree (§ 11 BerAkadAnerkG) and imparts practice-oriented skills for the modern music profession.

Mission & Vision

Our mission is to promote musical talents of all ages and to convey music as a cultural mandate. We see ourselves as an educational institution with a long tradition and as a cultural mediator who enriches regional and supra-regional musical life through concerts, competitions, and events. The foundation of our work is the desire not to exclude musical talents for financial reasons and to provide them with first-class education from early childhood education through to a bachelor's degree.

Target groups

The foundation's offerings are aimed equally at young talents and adult amateurs: gifted children and adolescents seeking early support (PreCollege, ANE), high school graduates and secondary school graduates wishing to pursue a practice-oriented bachelor's degree in music, and music enthusiasts who want to further their education. In addition, school partnerships (e.g., Musterschule) and international students benefit from the diverse programs.
