Countries of the former eastern block are awash with gifted musicians. These young students are mostly not able to take part in a masterclass in central Europe. There is, however, great desire to reach deeper understanding of european culture at its place of origin. Even music academies are often not in possession of accurate scores ("Urtext") of works by Bach, Mozart or Beethoven. This is essential for the serious study of music.

The Swiss association derecha - Kulturförderung (promotion of culture) assists gifted students in financial distress. Through the Weidenkam Fund it awards scholarships (full or partial) for the participation in the Masterclass of Weidenkam and others. For several years, a growing circle of friends of the arts have been making generous donations, thus making our work possible. The scholarship applicants have to prove their ability with a recording and a recommendation by their teacher. Up to date, scholarships were given to students from Poland, Rumania, Turkey and Georgia. Funds permitting, eligible candidates of middle Europe are considered as well. By supporting deserving artists, derecha is contributing to the conservation of our cultural tradition and musical heritage.

We gladly accept donations for the Weidenkam Culture Fund, however small. Thank you for your bank transfer into account 568365.01K ("Sommerkurse Weidenkam") at bank UBS in CH-8400 Winterthur (bank code 257, IBAN 640025725758636501K, SWIFT-Code UBSWCHZH80A).
