Pianos for Schools Supports Talented Artists
The Pianos for Schools Supports Talented Artists scholarship fund is one of our newest initiatives. We do not only support talented young musicians financially, but our goal is to also help them systematically build their careers in the long term. Gifted individuals receive support from top mentors and have the opportunity to develop their skills in masterclasses and through performances both at home and abroad.
You can support the project directly on its website.
Support„Identifying and supporting young talent is absolutely essential. It is like nurturing rare seeds that will one day bear extraordinarily beautiful fruit. Eventually, it will enrich us all.“

About the project
Support for Young Talented Artists
The first musicians to enter the scholarship support program were Jan Schulmeister, Adam Znamirovský, Vivi Nguyen, Nora Lubbadová, and Vladimír Slavíček. We provide financial and professional support to all these promising stars. They receive guidance from members of the expert panel, which selects young musicians for the scholarship support and works with them continuously. The expert panel includes Ivo Kahánek, Jarmila Holcová, Beata Hlavenková, and Tomáš Kačo, along with project partners: Petrof President Zuzana Ceralová Petrofová and Dana Syrová from the MenART Academy.
The panel's activities align with the foundation's ongoing efforts in supporting talent. Since 2019, we have supported young talent through the programs of the Academy of Classical Music, notably the Concertino Praga competition.
