patronage

For a festival as young as ours, it is a great compliment when renowned musicians and institutions support us. We are delighted that sheng master Wu Wei and the Toots Thielemans Foundation have taken on the patronage of our artistic and educational programs, respectively, and we thank them for their trust.

Toots Thielemans Foundation

The foundation supports young musical talents and organizations that promote the harmonica. The enthusiasm, the varied program, and the opportunities offered to young artists make the Berlin Harmonica Festival unique and, above all, diverse.

Wu Wei,
sheng master

As patron of the HARMONICA FEN FESTIVAL 2026, I am delighted to be able to contribute to raising the profile of the harmonica and its wide musical range in Germany and Europe once again.
