Young organists honoured

21st of May 2015

From 2004 to 2014, the Hubert Schoonbroodt Fund encouraged the restoration of listed classical organs. This support campaign enabled five owners to continue or complete a project to safeguard a remarkable old instrument.

For 2015, the Fund’s Management Committee has the objective of honouring talented young organists. The Fund has launched a call for projects from organists who are no older than 30 and aim to have an international career.

The laureate will be awarded the Hubert Schoonbroodt Prize, worth €4,500. The award ceremony will be organised as part of the 2015-2016 Bozar Music season. The prize-winner will be invited to play during the ceremony.

Candidates’ entries will be examined by an independent jury of international experts: (link pdf nota)

The Hubert Schoonbroodt Fund was created in memory of master organist Hubert Schoonbroodt, who worked tirelessly to safeguard and promote Belgium’s organ heritage.
