Since 1952, the Kranichstein Music Prize (Kranichsteiner Musikpreis) has been awarded during the Darmstadt Summer Course. There are 183 laureates so far and for many of them the renowned prize has been an important milestone at the beginning of their career as musician, ensemble or composer. The total endowment sum of the Kranichstein Music Prize in 2023 will be 6,000 EUR, consisting of 3,000 EUR for the interpretation prize (ensemble or soloist) and 3,000 EUR for composition. These two awards are complemented
by a number of scholarships for the participation in the Darmstadt Summer Course 2025.

The realization of the Kranichstein Music Prize 2023 is significantly supported this year by donations to the Friends of IMD, for which we are very grateful.
