Every year, awards and scholarships worth over 10,000 € are presented at the Academy — in 2023 even over 20,000 €. This is made possible by generous sponsors, benefactors and donors, for whose long-standing loyalty and support we would like to express our sincere thanks.
This year we welcome as new supporters and prize donors in particular Pirastro, Gewa Music, The Violin Channel and the G. Henle Publishing House.
Some prizes are given every year, such as the Carl Flesch Award, the Werner Stiefel Award or the Stennebrüggen Award. Other prizes are only awarded at irregular intervals and occasionally one-off special awards are added.
The scholarships serve to refinance the course fees by the course participant. The number of scholarships and the amounts given are at the discretion of the donors. The course management chooses the award winners based on proposals of the instructors.
