The Carl Bechstein Foundation supports 86 young pianists with 18 scholarships of €12,000 each and 68 one-off payments of €2,000 each, with a total amount of €352,000.
In February 2021, the Carl Bechstein Foundation launched a competition for ten scholarships for talented young classical pianists who plan to take up careers as soloists. Gregor Willmes, member of the Foundation’s Executive Board, stated: “More than ninety people applied, 86 of whom met the application criteria. We noticed that all young pianists are on the edge of indigence. […] Artists at the beginning of their careers used to finance their living through concerts and competition prizes, but this became impossible last year.” Based on this observation, the Board of Trustees and the Executive Board unanimously decided to increase the number of scholarships to eighteen and to provide a one-off payment to all applicants who were not selected.
