YOU CANNOT BUY TALENT BUT YOU CAN PROMOTE IT.<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n


\n<\/strong>Who we are
\n<\/span><\/h3>\n

For over 70 years, the Mozart Gesellschaft Dortmund has been supporting talented young musicians with a level of commitment that is unique in Germany. As a member of the International Mozarteum Foundation in Salzburg, it has become one of the most important institutions in this field. Each year, five new scholarship holders are selected and receive individual support over a period of two to three years.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What we do<\/span><\/h3>\n


\nPromoting young musicians <\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

We support highly talented musicians between the ages of 17 and 27 who aspire to build international careers. A jury of experts selects potential scholarship holders and decides which musicians are to be given support. During a one-day audition at the Orchesterzentrum NRW, an internal jury \u2014 comprising members of our advisory board and executive board \u2014 makes the final decision on admission to our program. Each new scholarship holder is given the opportunity to perform as a soloist at the Konzerthaus Dortmund as part of our Young Artist Matinees.<\/p>\n

The success stories of our alumni speak for themselves: many now perform as soloists, chamber musicians, or members of leading orchestras worldwide, while others inspire future generations as educators. To date, the Mozart Gesellschaft Dortmund has supported over 150 promising talents on their way to professional music careers.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Attractive Concerts\u00a0<\/b><\/div>\n

The Mozart Gesellschaft Dortmund has succeeded time and again in providing its scholarship holders with attractive opportunities in its own concerts. For this the concert series in the Konzerthaus Dortmund offers an ideal forum. Each season there are six Mozart matinees in which each scholarship holder can perform as a soloist with an internationally renowned orchestra. The matinees convince with their varied programme and highest quality and are immensely popular.
\nIn addition the Mozart Gesellschaft Dortmund is responsible for among others soir\u00e9e concerts where scholarship holders perform in the Wilo Pioneer Cube.<\/p>\n


\nIntensive Support
\n<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The Mozart Gesellschaft Dortmund accompanies its scholarship holders over several years. In an important part of this support contact is provided with other famous concert organisations, festivals and concert series.
\nAlso financial assistance is given for websites, photo shootings, video and CD productions, master classes and travel and hotel costs for concert dates or auditions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
