COVID-19 shook the entire world. The consequences were also felt drastically in the cultural sector. In recent months, many concerts have been cancelled. The impact on all the musicians involved is considerable.
To support affected artists, AMUZ opened a project account managed by the Roi Baudouin Foundation. The road ahead is long and therefore we hope for financial support from everyone who holds music dear to their heart.
With your donation, we engage young Belgian musicians for a series of digital concerts. We provide them with the AMUZ platform and the support of our team, and ensure that their concerts are recorded under the best conditions so that as many music lovers as possible can enjoy these performances.
These musicians have already performed: Mario Sarrechia (harpsichord), Korneel Van Neste (countertenor) & Justin Glaie (lute), Deborah Cachet (soprano) & Bart Naessens (harpsichord) & Edouard Catalan (cello), Adriaan Lauwers (theorbo and baroque guitar), Beniamino Paganini (harpsichord, traverso) & Nele Vertommen (oboe, recorder), Lies Wyers (viola da gamba) & Pieter Vandeveire (viola da gamba). It is still possible to donate to our Support Fund for Belgian artists. Thanks to your donations, we were able to organize 6 digital concerts with the above-mentioned musicians, but we hope to support many more artists.
You can support us via a regular bank transfer to the project account 'AMUZ Steunfonds', managed at the Roi Baudouin Foundation, account number BE10 0000 0000 0404 (BIC: BPOTBEB1) with the structured message 128/3274/00084.
Donations from € 40 that are transferred to the Roi Baudouin Foundation give rise to a tax reduction of 45%. Following the COVID-19 crisis, the federal government has increased the tax deduction to 60% of the donated amount for donations made in 2020.
