Description
The Chamber Music Promotion Award / Youth Chamber Music Promotion Award NRW is aimed at young chamber music ensembles from North Rhine-Westphalia aged approximately 14 to 19 years and seeks to discover outstanding musical talent and specifically support its professional development. Ensembles that have won first prize in the "Ensembles" category of the state competition "Jugend musiziert NRW" or have already participated in the promotion program of the Chamber Music Center NRW are eligible for funding. The award includes an individual rehearsal weekend with experienced instructors, a winners' concert in a representative setting, as well as extensive public relations efforts to increase the ensembles' visibility within the professional community. This structured support package acknowledges the importance of education and training in youth and cultural promotion and offers, alongside artistic input, valuable networking opportunities.
The selection of awardees is based on previous competition successes as well as the artistic quality and program design of the ensemble. A prize of €350 per participant is awarded, complemented by the organization and execution of a public concert followed by the award ceremony. The Youth & Castles Foundation, as the funding body, not only provides financial resources but also supports logistically and communicatively. By combining professional guidance, financial support, and media presence, the honored ensembles receive a solid foundation to further advance their musical development and to establish themselves sustainably in the cultural and music scene of North Rhine-Westphalia.
