The Elfrun Gabriel Foundation, established in 2012 in memory of the former internationally renowned pianist, supports outstanding young pianists. Every year, a jury selects two musicians from among the best piano students at the Leipzig University of Music and Performing Arts "Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy" and supports them with an annual scholarship, which helps them at the start of their careers in a variety of ways, including participation in international competitions and performance opportunities, traditionally also at TU Ilmenau. This year, the two music students Seonghyeon Leem and JungIn Ryu received the coveted scholarship.
