The Konzertgesellschaft München is a non-profit association dedicated to the cultivation and promotion of classical music and, since 2017, jazz. Through the international singing competition Vokal genial, which took place annually alternating with the August Everding Music Competition for Instrumentalists, the Konzertgesellschaft München and its members have paved the way for more than 100 artists to pursue an international career over the past 30 years. In 1999, the Konzertgesellschaft München was awarded the Europäischen Kulturpreis in recognition of its merits.
