Support for Young Musicians (Theodor Rogler Foundation)

The Theodor Rogler Foundation supports outstanding young musicians through targeted financial assistance within the framework of the ARD International Music Competition as well as the ARD Prize Winners Festival. Attractive audience awards are presented annually in cooperation with the Georg Dietrich Foundation, along with a special prize from the "Dr. Kunkel-Chichos Fund," curated by the BR-KLASSIK editorial team "SWEET SPOT. curious about music." In addition to these awards, the foundation specifically provides scholarships to support young talents in artistic further education and performance opportunities. The disbursement of funds takes place following consultation and resolution by the foundation advisory boards in the first quarter, ensuring early planning and professional organization of the support measures.

Eligibility for application requires proof of active participation or prize-winning status at the ARD International Music Competition or the ARD Prize Winners Festival. The foundation places great importance on timely submission, so applications must be received by the board of trustees no later than the end of the previous year. Through this clear structure and transparent guidelines, young musicians benefit from a reliable support platform that not only provides financial resources but also strengthens networking within the music scene. The program is open nationwide to all private applicants who have already distinguished themselves through exceptional competition successes and are seeking professional support.
