The Fondation EME has announced that it was recently placed under the High Patronage of the Hereditary Grand Duke and the Hereditary Grand Duchess of Luxembourg.
During its fifteenth anniversary celebrations, held on the Kinnekswiss in Luxembourg City on 6 July 2024, the foundation was granted the High Patronage of Prince Guillaume and Princess Stéphanie.
The foundation described this as "a true mark of confidence granted by Their Royal Highnesses, [who are] very active in the social and cultural fields of Luxembourg". It added that this support "elevates the mission of the Fondation EME and inspires a renewed commitment to our goals of promoting inclusion and social harmony through music". The foundation expressed its gratitude to the Hereditary Grand Ducal couple "for their trust and their unwavering commitment to the values it cherishes".
As Dominique Hansen, President of the Fondation EME, stated during her welcome address on the Kinnekswiss: "Thanks to their benevolent patronage, we can look to the future with optimism and determination, convinced that our impact will be even more profound and long-lasting."
In the pursuit for dignity and inclusion in society, the Fondation EME aims to help everyone live better together, through the universal language of music. Created in 2009, at the initiative of the Philharmonie, the Fondation EME is an independent structure which (thanks to donations) develops innovative projects at the crossroads of music and social issues. With its 200 partners, it organises 800 events per year reaching more than 17,000 beneficiaries.
