THE UNITING POWER OF MUSIC

Signatur Foundation Sweden supports organisations and projects in Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland and Iceland that aim to provide more people access to high quality music and performing arts.

Signatur seeks through its grant program to create a better society through the uniting power of music and music making.  We are particularly interested in projects directed towards children and young people, initiatives that provide more people with access to high quality music education and ideas that improve the opportunities for the public to enjoy high quality music from a wide range of genres.  We support partner organisations who share our passion for music and for reaching all parts of society, not least groups with limited access to inspiring music experiences and music education of the highest quality.

Art opens up new worlds

”The importance of involving children and young people in artistic activities cannot be overemphasised. Art opens up new worlds and helps us to reflect on deeply fundamental questions about what it is to be human. Through the support from Signatur, Drottningholm Slottsteater can give young audiences experiences they never knew existed in a project that offers first-class art in a unique environment. Having the opportunity to perform music and theatre for schools is important in order to reach children whose do not gain access to this culture through their family.”

Anna Karinsdotter, Head of Theatre, Drottningholms Slottsteater
