YEREVAN, ARMENIA, October 30, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Music for Future Foundation, founded by Sergey Smbatyan, is celebrating its fifth anniversary, marking a significant milestone in its mission to transform classical music education in Armenia.

Since its inception, the Music for Future Foundation has offered master classes with internationally acclaimed musicians such as Gil Shaham, Steven Isserlis, and Neemi Järvi. These programs, combined with overseas training and performance opportunities, have allowed young Armenian musicians to refine their skills and connect with the global classical music community.

Over the past five years, we have built a system that helps young musicians shape their future, discover their path, and understand how they can contribute to the world of music. We take pride in our accomplishments on the international stage. Our cultural heritage is deeply important to us, and we remain committed to ensuring that it is recognized and celebrated on the global stage,” said Sergey Smbatyan, UNICEF National Ambassador and Artistic Director of the Armenian State Symphony Orchestra. “This anniversary reflects not only our accomplishments but also our commitment to ensuring Armenia’s cultural heritage is represented internationally.”
