• close personal contact with the bursary holder
• the chance to organize exclusive concerts with bursary holders in your own home
• a personal point of contact in the Offices of the Balthasar Neumann Choir and Ensemble and of the Balthasar Neumann Academy
• the season’s brochure for the Balthasar Neumann Choir and Ensemble and for Thomas Hengelbrock as soon as it appears in print
• a six-monthly report on the bursary holder’s activities
• an invitation to attend Academy projects, including visits to Havana and Cuba (The Balthasar Neumann Academy team will assume full responsibility for organizing travel, visas, accommodation and so on.)
