Make a contribution to the Festival.
Enjoy the many benefits.

As a supporter of the Festival, you will be afforded the opportunity to take part in the internationally renowned Festival of Young Artists Bayreuth, which brings 400 or more extremely talented young artists from as many as 40 nations to Bayreuth each year. Here, under the guidance of internationally recognized directors, soloists and instructors, young people learn to further their knowledge and hone their skills. Your commitment as a donor, member, patron or sponsor makes a major contribution to the intercultural learning, international understanding and education of these young people. This applies both to their musicianship and to their development in all areas of cultural management.

Leading figures from politics, business and the arts are active in this international environment. Consequently, media interest is high. These are a few of the many compelling reasons why the Festival of Young Artists Bayreuth would be an ideal place to pursue personal interests, to turn a corporate vision into reality, or simply to follow your own passion for art and culture or the advancement of the world’s youth.

In addition to media presence, advertisements and publicity in our many publications, we can offer you the chance to attend exclusive receptions and concerts, as well as give you interesting insight into our work in a “look behind the scenes”.

Corporate Sponsorship

As a major sponsor and key partner, you can use the Young Artists Festival Bayreuth throughout the year exclusively for advertising purposes.

Increasingly, sponsorship is proving to be more effective in many areas than conventional advertising. For over 60 years, the Festival has attracted media attention across Germany as a major international event, alongside Bayreuth’s Richard Wagner Festival. Each of our sponsors benefits from a brand environment with a high level of acceptance and a positive, controllable image transfer. In an age in which companies are increasingly assessed by the extent to which they assume social responsibility, such an image transfer is becoming ever more meaningful, as it strengthens trust in the brand and in the company.

As a Co-Sponsor you will be involved as a partner for selected events or a series of concerts, which can be utilised to promote your interests.

We develop an individual sponsorship concept for each potential sponsor, tailored to that sponsor’s corporate structure. From this, we prepare an individual sponsorship agreement jointly with the sponsor.

Our Supporters

The Festival of Young Artists Bayreuth receives 38 percent of its funding from the public sector. The Festival generates the other 62 percent itself, through participation fees, ticket sales, donations and sponsorship.
