Patrons & Supporters

Help us to take them to the top!

Kronberg Academy is an independent, private institution whose aim is to provide support for the world’s top young string players. It combines inspiring world-class music projects with the Kronberg Academy Study Programmes for young musicians. These programmes offer carefully chosen leading young musicians tailor-made support and allow them to gain an officially recognised Bachelor or Master of Music (BMus/MMus) in International Solo Performance.

Internationally renowned artists and many people who have the need to provide support for exceptionally gifted next-generation musicians very much on their heart have already made a substantial contribution to this endeavour.
