Partners and sponsors
Without external support, a competition of this dimension and with the highest international standards cannot be realized. The international Hindemith Viola Competition is therefore fortunate to have gained strong partners who help and support us in the realization of the competition.
University of Music and Performing Arts Munich
The International Hindemith Viola Competition will take place for the second time in October 2025 as a cooperation between the Walter Witte Viola Foundation together with the Munich University of Music and Theatre. We are very pleased about the cooperation with one of the most important and diverse educational institutions for music, dance and theater professions in Germany, which began in 2020.
Hindemith Institute Frankfurt
For many years there has been a close cooperation between the Walter Witte Viola Foundation and the Hindemith Institute Frankfurt, which can be seen in many ways in the program of the International Hindemith Viola Competition.
The Foundation endeavours to promote and cultivate music in the spirit of Paul Hindemith, most particularly contemporary music, to disseminate the works of Paul Hindemith and to awaken understanding for his art, bring about scholarly research in the area of music and support the distribution of the works resulting from this.
BR Klassik
BR Klassik will be present at both the public discussion round and the preparation of the new moderation element of the competition.
BR Klassik is the classical music service of the Bavarian Broadcasting Corporation: in the radio program, in TV broadcasts, online and on CD. At br-klassik.de, direct access to the radio program and concert live streams is offered, as well as a convenient overview of the classical programs on BR and on ARD Alpha.
Pirastro
We are very happy to have Pirastro as a sponsor for our competition.
Pirastro supports the Hindemith International Viola Competition with numerous prizes.
A large number of classical musicians around the world are more than happy to use PIRASTRO strings on their stringed instruments.
