4 Fritz Behrens Foundation Fritz Behrens was born in 1836 as a farmer s son near Peine, Germany. He received training in business economics and soon made a name for himself in the Rhine Valley soft coal district, where he became one of the industry s most successful personalities. From 1881 until his death in 1920 Fritz Behrens and his wife lived in Hannover, where he was active even during his lifetime as an anonymous benefactor of city beautification. The avenue that connects with university and the zoo was named after Fritz Behrens. It was Fritz Behrens wish that a portion of the wealth he left behind would be used to establish a public service foundation dedicated to the preservation of monuments, social charity and science. The Foundation owns a number of works of art on display at Hannover s museums, a cello that is loaned to especially gifted students at the Hanover University of Music, Drama and Media; and the estate rights to the historic building in Hannover-Wülfel that serves as the Foundation s home. The Foundation regularly supports the International Soloists Academy, Menuhin Live Music Now as well as social institutions like the Children s Protection Association, hospice and Children s Hospital auf der Bult. It has also made major contributions to the restoration of the Goethe Museum in Rome, the construction costs of the Kestner Gesellschaft art museum and the purchase of the Gospels of Henry the Lion. The Foundation awards high endowed prizes to advance the sciences. Furthermore the Foundation makes it possible for donors to contribute during their lifetimes to charitable projects, thus enabling them to see how their contributions make their ideas become reality. The Fritz Behrens Foundation takes pleasure in supporting and promoting the future development of the talented young participants of the International Violin Competition, Hannover. For a period of three years, up to the subsequent Violin Competition, a Giovanni Battista Guadagnini violin, built in Parma in ca. 1765, will be loaned to the First Prize Winner.

7 Institute for Education and Culture (IfBK) The Institute for Education and Culture (IfBK) has two areas of focus. One area of specialization is the comprehensive management of classical music artists and the other is developing continuing education concepts for people of all ages and backgrounds. Our collaboration with the University of Bremen and the RWTH Aachen and our many years of practical experience in both areas form the basis for integrating psychology in our work. The objective is to maintain an interdisciplinary approach in combining art, music, literature and science while keeping individuals and their personal development in the forefront. The Artists Management portfolio of the IfBK provides classical music artists with a full range of services. In addition to the standard tasks of an agency such as acquiring performance opportunities and public relations, we utilize our research and experience to prepare our artists psychologically for the high demands of their profession. This includes aspects such as establishing one s own identity as a prerequisite for a career as an artist, giving advice and ongoing support in individual and career development through personal talks, as well as identifying and clarifying market opportunities with the help of social science methodology. The IfBK takes its role seriously as a supportive, explicitly non-profit oriented artists management for exceptional young talents. We help them enter the network of musical activity in Germany and other European countries. To this end, we cooperate with leading international competitions and Music Academies in Germany, Great Britain, the USA and also with various agencies in Europe and Asia. Our young artists include winners of international competitions such as the Argentinian flutist Cecilia María Muñoz and the Japanese violinist Shion Minami (prize winner of the International Violin Competition 2015). Among our established artists are such prominent figures as the conductor Shao-Chia Lü or the pianists Ana-Marija Markovina and Jean-François Heisser. Our particular strength lies in two instruments violin and piano and in our internationally active conductors. Contact: Katharina Nitsch +49 (0) press@jjv-.de mail@jjv-.de
