Description
The Bücher-Dieckmeyer Foundation for the Promotion of Church Music in Bavaria honors outstanding achievements in the field of church music and supports the development of young talents. Church musicians, ensembles, as well as choir projects of youth and church music Nachwuchs based in Bavaria may submit applications continuously, provided that residence or activity in Bavaria and church music engagement can be demonstrated. The award is given in the form of prizes that honor both experienced cantors and choir directors as well as dedicated Nachwuchs groups. The focus of the selection is on artistic quality, sustainable commitment to the church music community, and engagement in youth work.
The awards are granted continuously without a fixed deadline and are based on clear evaluation criteria: merits in the field of church music, artistic performance, and the promotion of church music Nachwuchs. As the sponsor, Ingrid-Maria Bücher – in memory of Prof. Karl Richter – commemorates the historical significance of church music as a unifying element of faith and culture. The awards are presented with public visibility and create additional attention for the diversity of church music activities in Bavaria. Interested individuals and ensembles can find more information about funding guidelines and application formalities on the website of the Bücher-Dieckmeyer Foundation.
