The Uniqa Insurance Group AG (UNIQA) and Raiffeisen along with the Würth Group have announced support for the Salzburg Festival’s Youth Program 2022.

The Festival’s President Dr. Kristina Hammer, shares the importance of the arts for children and young people by saying, “So far, children and teenagers have suffered most from the effects of the coronavirus pandemic; they deserve to experience music and the arts live, but also to test themselves and their artistic talent on stage. These experiences will remain with them for a long time, often lingering far into adult life. We are very grateful to have such active and reliable partners as UNIQA, Raiffeisen Salzburg, and the Würth Group by our side, enabling us to forge ahead with this project that is so important for the future.”

The organizations’ support makes way for “jung & jede*,” the Salzburg Festival’s 54 youth programs taking place between July 29  & August 28.
