The Trio Agora and the Pacific Quintet are funded by the Federal Government through the “Neustart Kultur” program. The two international chamber music ensembles are studying at the Eisler with Prof. Martin Spangenberg and Prof. Eberhard Feltz for their master's degree. The Trio Orelon with the pianist and Eisler graduate Marco Sanna also received funding.

The highly endowed funding from "Neustart Kultur" supports the artistic development and professionalization of the ensemble performances. Young artists can create a solid basis for future work in the chamber music scene. The ensembles will successively receive funding totaling up to 270,000 euros. As part of "Neustart Kultur", the federal government is providing up to 35 million euros for a funding program by the German Music Council for independent music ensembles. Of this, 5 million euros are intended for the targeted support of young ensembles. Eligible to apply were professional free ensembles of all genres from two members up to one orchestra or choir size, the core cast of which is predominantly freelance. The prerequisite is that the ensembles are not predominantly publicly funded and that the applicant's projects are carried out in Germany.
