Ravel Edition
Supporting Creative Projects.
Faithful to Maurice Ravel's aspirations in his encouragement of young musicians.
Faithful to Maurice Ravel's aspirations in his encouragement of young musicians, Ravel Edition actively champions initiatives that deepen understanding of the composer's work — financial assistance for university research, publication of musicological studies, restoration of heritage instruments and historical recordings, production of freely available video content, and support for emerging composers.
Areas of action
Six strands of support
Financial assistance to students
Support for university research on Ravelian subjects — study grants, fieldwork assistance, access to archives.
Publication of scholarly work
Editing and disseminating musicological work arising from the research supported, in a spirit of scholarly transmission.
Restoration of the Luthéal
Contribution to the restoration of the Luthéal at the Musical Instruments Museum in Brussels, as part of the Ravel 2025 anniversary concert at the Théâtre royal de La Monnaie.
Papier à musique
Production of the video series Papier à musique — Ravel facing his manuscripts — freely available on the dedicated YouTube channel.
Restoration of historical recordings
Support for the preservation and restoration of twentieth-century Ravelian recordings — for the memory of interpretation.
Composition prizes
Co-commissions and financial backing for composition prizes, notably those of the Académie du Festival Ravel de Saint-Jean-de-Luz and the Prix Ravel de Siena (Italy).
