Welcome to the Hinrichsen Foundation

The Trustees are delighted to accept applications for consideration in accordance with their normal practice. Updates regarding future strategic developments will follow.

The Hinrichsen Foundation CIO is a charity mainly devoted to the promotion of new music.

It was founded in 1976 by Mrs Carla Eddy Hinrichsen to ensure the continuation of the tradition of supporting contemporary music established by the Hinrichsen family as the proprietors of Edition Peters the music publishers, established more than 200 years ago in the German city of Leipzig. Until 2010 the Hinrichsen Foundation was the beneficial shareholder of Peters Edition Limited, London. In 2011, following the amalgamation of the post-war branches of Edition Peters, the Hinrichsen Foundation became a major shareholder in the company. In 2023 the Foundation successfully sold its interests to a company jointly owned by Wise Music Group and Christian Hinrichsen. The Foundation now derives its income from an investment portfolio.

Although there have been one or two obstacles along the way, MURAL has been a courageous project to consider, plan and execute. Of course, none of this could have been achieved without the support and backing from the Hinrichsen Foundation, which we very much appreciate.
