Bolivia Clásica’s mission is to ensure no talent is left behind, and in bringing top musicians and pedagogues from around the world to work with our students and teachers, many of these have gone on to higher studies and become successful professionals around the world. We are actively involved in securing their scholarships, establishing direct relationships with top institutions and teachers around the world, as well as fundraising on a case by case basis.
The artists we have supported are becoming meaningful role models for the next generation, and important mentors and leaders in their own right. Establishing a give-forward culture has been a crucial element in laying the groundwork for the sustainability of our project, and many of our former students are actively involved in the running of the foundation, organizing and participating in fundraisers and festivals, and of course, teaching and guiding the younger students, both virtually and in person.
