The Foundation
The Dag Wirén Foundation has contributed to recordings of
the music of Wirén and the publication of books about him, and has also awarded
stipends to people who in different ways contribute to and further the awareness
of his music. In 2007 the foundation has also created the Dag Wirén Prize that
persons or
institutions can
get as a reward for extra-ordinary work to promote
or for the dissemination of Wirén's music.
Interested parties may send in applications to the Foundation for support of
projects that help further the performance and knowledge of Wirén's music both
within Sweden and abroad. The Foundation does not primarily support tours or
individual concerts, instead prioritizing other activities such as seminars,
lectures, translations, promotional projects, or the publication in other
languages of articles about Wirén's music.
The board consists of Roland Sandberg (chairman), Annika Wirén, Hans Enflo and
Stefan Bojsten, with AnnMarie Belfrage and Stefan Karpe as substitutes. The foundation is
administered by the Swedish Music Information
Centre, Box 27327, 102 54 Stockholm.
Questions or applications should be sent to the chairman of the board, Roland
Sandberg, at the email address l.r.sandberg@gmail.com.
