Anthony Ratinov: Benefit Concert, Washington DC

Thank you for your support for the young musicians, worldwide, who journey to the Festival Virtuoso & Belcanto in Lucca, Italy every July to study under internationally renowned maestros of classical music.

Without your support, many of the world's most promising young students would miss out on the life-changing and career-enhancing opportunity the Festival offers.

By supporting the Festival, you will gain access to updates and information, the Festival's streaming concerts, free concert tickets, and more.

While the Festival keeps tuition exceptionally low so as to make the experience available to as many young musicians as possible, travel and accommodation costs can be high, especially for those coming from underprivileged countries: By giving scholarships to students whose families cannot afford both travel costs and tuition, your support of the Scholarship Fund helps to offset the travel costs and makes it possible for students, who would not otherwise be able to attend the Festival, come to Lucca to work with professors and students from all over the world.

On behalf of these exceptional young students, thank you!
