The Shkolnikova Academy honours the legacy of world-renowned violinist and pedagogue Nelli Shkolnikova by nurturing the next generation of exceptional musicians. With a deep belief in the importance of a worldly perspective, we provide young musicians from diverse cultures the opportunity to collaborate and engage in cross-cultural exchange. Through this immersive experience, students gain a broader understanding of music's universal language and the power of cultural exchange in shaping artistic growth. We are committed to carrying forward Shkolnikova's passion for musical excellence, artistry, and global connection.
In order to make the Shkolnikova Academy accessible to students across the world from diverse backgrounds by offering scholarships and financial aid, we rely on donations.
All donations are entirely tax-deductible in the United States and we also accept donations in euros to the association in France (lot 1901). Give online, by mail, or by phone. We appreciate donations of any amount to help us in our endeavour.
