Stiftung Bischof Badurad

The purpose of the Stiftung Bischof Badurad is the promotion of music, art, and culture in the Archdiocese of Paderborn. It focuses particularly on the cathedral music at the High Cathedral of Paderborn, provides ongoing support for the girls' choir, and supports the International Music Days at the Cathedral of Paderborn on a three-year cycle. The foundation is named after Bishop Badurad (815–862), who played a key role in advancing the construction of the cathedral and the monasteries of Corvey and Böddeken, and who transferred the relics of Saint Liborius to Paderborn.

The Stiftung Bischof Badurad is committed to enriching the cultural and spiritual life in the Archdiocese of Paderborn through targeted support of music, art, and cultural projects. It believes in the unifying power of music and culture to promote faith experience, community, and artistic excellence.

Church and cultural actors in the Archdiocese of Paderborn are supported, in particular ensembles and projects of the cathedral music at the High Cathedral of Paderborn, the girls' choir at Paderborn Cathedral, organizers of the International Music Days at the Cathedral, as well as project sponsors in the fields of music, art, and culture that cannot be financed from church tax funds.
