"The best part about giving a gift is the sparkle in the recipient's eyes."
Christmas, the season of love, fills our hearts with joy as we look forward not only to our second event in March ’25, but also to the people who made this second event possible in the first place.
Behind foundations and companies are people who devote their wealth and energy to education, science, the arts and culture, social causes, environmental protection, healthcare, and much more.
For example, the Feith Foundation was founded by Dr. Elisabeth Feith, who, as, as a philanthropist, had already been supporting a wide variety of areas of public welfare even before the foundation was established. She created the Feith Foundation to ensure that future generations would also benefit from the altruistic work she had pioneered.
Doing good and keeping it quiet—that’s a principle many other foundation founders have also taken to heart. Companies take responsibility by establishing a foundation through which they aim to give back to society and shape the future. Private donors give because their donations are multiplied in the hands of nonprofit organizations, thereby making a significant positive impact.
They are all united by their conviction that they want to create something lasting—something that brings people together and values them, that stands as a symbol of freedom and justice, and that creates and preserves values.
We are deeply impressed by this commitment to a better world and a sustainable society. We are convinced that culture and music are essential to this. We are very grateful that so many people and organizations support us in our efforts to promote art, music, culture, and ganz —especially young talent.
They enable us, in turn, to give so much to so many people: care, attention, a great deal of personal dedication, and, last but not least, wonderful piano music of the highest caliber!
In every language of the world, we wish you a Merry Christmas from the bottom of our hearts!
The International Piano Competition Taunus e. V.
