Support for the arts

E+S Rück, the subsidiary of Hannover Re with responsibility for the German market, organises so-called examination concerts in cooperation with Hannover University of Music and Drama. Since the first concert was held some twelve years ago E+S Rück has assisted three or four of the university's “master students” each year as they seek to embark on their career as soloists; at the same time the company is able to offer its clients a musical highlight as part of its “Hannover Forum” seminar event. The involvement of E+S Rück gives graduating students the rare opportunity to play with the accompaniment of a large orchestra.

For many years Hannover Re has also dedicated itself to supporting the fine arts. In 1991, for example, we launched an art foundation that benefits the Sprengel Museum Hannover and we regularly make works of art available to this institution as permanent loans. The interest earned on the foundation's capital is used to acquire these pieces. Guided tours make this collection accessible to interested sections of the broader public.

Hannover Re also supports the Kestnergesellschaft in Hannover through its participation in the latter's partner programme: in our role as a “kestnerpartner” we are able to promote the society's work on a continuous and lasting basis.
