Artists live for their music. But can they make a living from it? Even when the music is good, the answer is often: no. In times when streaming platforms such as Spotify put smaller artists and those at the beginning of their career at a disadvantage, fundraising is increasingly important – alongside good concert booking, effective PR and solid network-building. But how do you apply for funding from foundations? In this workshop, Anna Balbi, President of the Board of Trustees at the Swiss Performers' Foundation and Project Manager at the Albert Koechlin Foundation, explains what makes a good application, what must be included in the dossier and what are absolute no-goes.

This conference is conducted in German, with simultaneous translation into French.
