Children's Concert

The Children's Concert annually presents the winners of the renowned Hamburg Instrumental Competition at the Laeiszhalle in Hamburg, offering a unique stage for young classical music talents. Since 2013, the Haspa Music Foundation has enabled young talents between the ages of 6 and 20 from Hamburg to develop their artistic skills before a large audience. The selection is based on outstanding musical performance and honors the best of the best to make the musical future of the Hanseatic city tangible. With its professional atmosphere and the combination of childlike joy of playing and artistic excellence, the concert sets highlights in cultural and music promotion as well as in Hamburg’s children and youth initiatives.

Interested prizewinners of the Hamburg Instrumental Competition residing in Hamburg can apply continuously to become part of this support platform. Through this sponsorship measure, the Haspa Music Foundation provides financial support primarily through prize awards, thereby creating a lasting perspective for musical development. Participation requirements include being a prizewinner in the competition, being between 6 and 20 years old, and proof of residence in Hamburg. The selection is based on competition results and demonstrated talent. Application documents consist exclusively of the official proof of prizewinning. The project start for the next concert is March 2, 2025. This format exemplifies sustainable cultural promotion that encourages and supports young artists over the long term.
