Klassikfestivals Berner Oberland (KFBO): Project competition "Diversity in the audience"

The audiences of many concert organizers in the classical music sector are still firmly in the hands of the predominantly older, classical middle class. Other social groups, such as people with different language or educational backgrounds, young people, people working in certain professions or people with disabilities, are often underrepresented or feel little welcomed.

How do you motivate and inspire people for classical music who have perhaps never been to such a concert? What can be done to invite previously excluded groups to participate in cultural events and, if necessary, connect them with a more familiar audience? Send us your project idea!

The winning project will be rewarded with a prize money worth CHF 2'000.-. Preference will be given to ideas with potential for implementation in all 14 festivals. The members of the KFBO will decide independently whether they would like to realize the project in their festival. The costs for any execution will be paid separately.

Application

Please send your project description (length: one to max. two A4 pages) including a budget by e-mail to the KFBO office: Ms. Christine Lüthi, info(at)klassikfestivals-berneroberland.ch
