Global presence, timeless music
BRINGING BACH TO THE WORLD
The aim of the International J. S. Bach Foundation of Zurich is to raise the global profile of the Foundation (whose concert activities are centered in Trogen and St. Gallen in Eastern Switzerland), as well its two instrumental ensembles, its choir, and its artistic director, Rudolf Lutz. The international foundation thus primarily supports performances at important festivals and concerts by renowned promoters and assists in administering the Foundation’s social media presence. In addition, it coordinates international crowd-funding and ensures that donations received by the Foundation are recognised as tax deductible by the tax authorities.
Purpose of the foundation
In 2011, a second foundation, the International J.S. Bach Foundation of Zurich – whose activities are not limited to a particular region – was founded with its registered office in Zurich.
