Inspired by the touching story of the living legend- Christoph Eschenbach, Arts Enterprises GmbH, decided to commence a development program together with the Maestro, for young, extraordinary artists in memory of his parents- Margarete Jaros, a pianist who passed away at his birth and Heribert Ringmann, a conductor who was hunted down and killed by the Nazis for participating in the Resistance.

The program will feature one award each year and provide the nominees various opportunities depending on their individual needs, from working on repertoire and being mentored by outstanding artists and by Mo. Eschenbach himself, to sharing the stage with them.

The program was launched in September 2023 with the first award going to the outstanding young conductor- Mirian Khukhunaishvili. Mo. Khukhunaishvili will receive the chance to conduct the first part of the opening concert of the Wratislavia Cantans Festival with the NFM Orchestra in Wroclaw, Poland, presenting a masterwork for orchestra, three soloists and a chorus by K. Penderecki- KOSMOGONIA and an audience interactive piece by Tan Dun - Passacaglia: Secret of Winds and Birds
