Background: The competition was founded in 1975 on the initiative of the “Tonhalle-Gesellschaft” Zurich. The foundation “Schweizerischer Jugendmusikwettbewerb” has been registered under private law since 1999. The foundation aims to support and promote particularly talented young musicians but also young people in general through music. A Foundation Board is responsible for the competition and concentrates particularly on strategic and financial questions. It is advised in artistic and organisational matters by a commission of experts. These two bodies work closely with the office in St Gallen on all tasks related to the foundation.
