Jubilee Circle
Since its inception, the entirely privately funded Piano Festival Ruhr has been supported by many dedicated individuals. The valuable contributions from our private supporters significantly contribute to the sustainable financing of the festival.
Donors gathered in the Jubilee Circle receive invitations to the opening and closing concerts and are among the first to learn about the program and purchase tickets—prior to the official start of general ticket sales.
