Under the name of Salvat Bach Grant<\/strong>, Pau Jorquera, Daniel Tarrida and the boost and patronage of the Salvat Foundation, a grant for the development of young singers was created in 2014. Today, the grant called SALVAT GRANT<\/strong> for BAROQUE MUSIC<\/strong> (SGBM) aims to promote the training and development of young soloist singers of ancient music to become a benchmark platform that offers visibility to new vocal talents.<\/p>\n

In addition to rewarding the best soloists in each of the four voice categories (soprano, contralto-countertenor, tenor, and baritone-bass), the mission of the Salvat Grant is to identify, train and provide opportunities for young soloists from around the world to perform in concerts, for whom winning the scholarship can be an effective boost at the start of their professional careers.<\/p>\n

With the SGBM, the Salvat Foundation, the entity that develops charitable work of the Salvat Pharmaceutical Group, annually awards four soloists an economic endowment of 5,000 euros for each of the winners<\/strong>, and links it with their participation in the concerts that will be programmed throughout 2025\/26
\n(detailed in these rules), in which they will be accompanied by musicians with a solid career in the world of performance with baroque instruments and historical criteria. The SGBM has the support and musical programming expertise of the Bachcelona Foundation, the Bach Collegium Barcelona and the Fundaci\u00f3 Orfe\u00f3 Catal\u00e0 \u2013 Palau de la M\u00fasica Catalana.<\/p>\n

The SGBM also offers training and collaborations with renowned musicians and professionals. In previous years these have included countertenor Carlos Mena<\/strong>, soprano Katharine Fuge<\/strong>, baritone Stephan MacLeod<\/strong>, tenor Benjamin Bruns<\/strong>, baritone Jan Van der Crabben<\/strong>, flautist Michel Brun,<\/strong> soprano Miriam Feuersinger<\/strong>, bass Alex Ashworth<\/strong>, soprano Mar\u00eda Espada,<\/strong> soprano Mar\u00eda Hinojosa<\/strong> and the director of the Academy of Ancient Music Laurence Cummings. In 2025\/26 grant recipients will have the privilege of working with counter tenor Alex Potter<\/strong>, with who they will prepare and share stage at the winners presentation concert that will take place at the Palau de la M\u00fasica Catalana in Barcelona.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”30″][vc_column_text]\n

Audition requirements<\/h2>\n

Candidates must perform two arias of baroque style.
\n\u2022 One required aria:<\/p>\n

Aria soprano <\/b>BWV 32.1 Liebster Jesu, mein Verlangen
\n<\/span>Aria contralto <\/b>BWV 187.3 Du, Herr, du kr\u00f6nst allein das Jahr
\n<\/span>Aria tenor <\/b>BWV 186.5 Mein Heiland l\u00e4\u00dft sich merken

\u2022 Another one freely chosen by the candidate, of baroque style composed prior to 1750.
\nThe organisation will provide an accompanying harpsichordist. However, if a\u00a0 candidate wishes to bring their own harpsichordist, they will need to let the\u00a0 organisation know in advance. In this case, the organisation will happily oblige. <\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”30″][vc_column_text]\n

Awarding of the grant<\/h2>\n

The jury\u2019s decision will be made public within a week following the completion of auditions. Their decision will be final. All candidates will receive the results via e email and they will also be announced simultaneously via the Salvat Foundation\u2019s website www.fundacionsalvat.com <\/a><\/p>\n

The Salvat Grant jury reserves the right to declare one or more void grants if it considers the quality of the candidates to be insufficient.<\/p>\n

The SGBM will be considered awarded once the recipient has accepted it in writing via email to salvatbecabach@fundacionsalvat.com<\/a><\/span> within 15 calendar days from the date of announcement of the results. Failure to do so will result in the recipient waiving the grant.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”30″][vc_column_text]By accepting the grant, the chosen candidates are obliged to carry out all the activities programmed by the SGBM. Failure to comply with this commitment without a duly justified cause may result in rescission of the grant.<\/p>\n

The Salvat Foundation reserves the right to postpone or cancel the concerts it organises in case of force majeure, without this implying any possibility of a claim by the SGBM recipients.
\nThe Salvat Foundation will not cover travel expenses for the audition phases. However, once the grant recipients have been selected, the Foundation agrees to cover the travel and accommodation expenses incurred by the grant recipients related to the concerts and activities directly linked to the SGBM of 2026.<\/p>\n

In the event that a choir is required for the interpretation of the proposed pieces, the grant soloists will interpret the arias assigned to them and will also participate as part of the choir, should the director consider it appropriate.<\/p>\n

However, the Salvat Foundation will organise a series of concerts throughout the year featuring various soloists who have won previous editions of the SGBM. These concerts are separate from the concerts which the winners of the BSMB for the current year commit to.
