Trusts and Foundations

The Klaus-Michael Kühne Stiftung supports the »Hamburg International Music Festival«, an Elbphilharmonie project that enriches the musical life of Hamburg with its outstanding programme and impressive array international performers. At the same time, the music festival sets new musical trends and strengthens Hamburg’s global reputation.

The launch of the Körber fund »ZukunftsMusik« in 2006 began Körber Stiftung’s regular commitment to supporting and enabling socially relevant projects in the new concert hall building.

With its generous and continuous support since 2007, the Hans-Otto und Engelke Schümann Stiftung has enabled the realisation of a first-class interior in the Elbphilharmonie Recital Hall possible.

The Haspa Musik Stiftung has made it its mission to sustainably contribute to the development of Hamburg as a city of music. It is therefore a partner of the Elbphilharmonie’s school concerts.

For more than 20 years, the Hubertus Wald Stiftung has committed itself to the development of a high-quality music programme for children. It funds the World of Instruments’ »Klassiko« programme.

Contemporary music is the focus of the Ernst von Siemens Musikstiftung – it therefore supports the portrait series featuring composer and conductor Matthias Pintscher at the Elbphilharmonie.

The Cyril & Jutta A. Palmer Stiftung helped to launch the »Teatime Classics« at the Laeiszhalle in 1998. From season 2016/17, it enables a further series: »Pianomania« in the new building on the Elbe.

With its keen interest and commitment to music education, the Mara und Holger Cassens Stiftung has supported the Laeiszhalle and Elbphilharmonie since 2011.

On 28 October 2018, the Czech Republic celebrates a century of independence. What could be more natural than to commemorate this anniversary with a chamber music festival of Czech music performed by young Czech musicians at the Elbphilharmonie Hamburg – in Prague’s partner city.
