The mission of the foundation is the enduring promotion of the remembrance and the enhancement of the public awareness of the composer H.E. Erwin Walther, and will be realised especially by

  1. executing and promoting public performances of H.E. Erwin Walther's compositions, preferably together with compositions of other - also contemporary - composers,

  2. promoting and distributing H.E. Erwin Walther's oevre in public broadcasting and other publicly available media,

  3. granting of mandates for compositions to  composers, in which they deal with H.E. Erwin Walther's œvre, as well as performing these compositions,

  4. initialising and possibly funding research assignments and academic editing regarding the life and work of H.E. Erwin Walther, incl. digitalizing his compositions,

  5. promoting composers and musicians who follow new and experimental tracks of musical documentation and facilitation and thereby act according to H.E. Erwin Walther's own unconventional ways.
