The "District Music" funding program was implemented for the first time in 2021.

The previous call for proposals was aimed at "organizers" who wanted to hold smaller concerts in the courtyard of their house, in their garden or simply on the lawn between their blocks of flats, for example. The event had to be open to the public and the focus had to be on the musical experience. Performances as background music, at street festivals or at existing event formats - wine stands, notches, concert series, festivals, etc. - were and are not promoted. - were and are not promoted. The "organizers" are, or were, responsible for promoting the event and other tasks - artist catering, GEMA, infrastructure, etcetera. Professional musicians were engaged who earn their living mainly by making music.

In addition to promoting musicians and bands, new, atypical event locations were discovered. For example, there was a "folding chair concert" in a private garden in Klarenthal and a concert on a garage roof in Abeggstraße.

The "District Music" funding program is expected to be continued in summer 2025. Information about this can be found on this page and in the daily press.
