Dear Elena,
I want to congratulate you on AADGT’s ongoing commitment to excellence in supporting and encouraging young classical musicians worldwide. Throughout the years I have known your organization, I have been continually impressed by AADGT’s professionalism and your unique ability to identify the next generation of talent.
AADGT’s work is crucial for many reasons. You genuinely care about the future of classical music, ensuring that promising young musicians have the opportunity to fully develop their talents. Your approach to engaging classical music professionals in support of new artists is truly commendable. I always enjoy watching AADGT DVDs, meeting supported artists, and discovering emerging musicians. You and AADGT do a marvelous job of providing young talents with access to prestigious stages like Carnegie Hall.
I am especially delighted that AADGT emphasizes long-term support and encouragement for musical and educational development, particularly at a time when commercial and economic pressures often lead young musicians to pursue other interests despite their exceptional talent.
Once again, thank you for your hard work and the excellence you and your organization consistently achieve. I look forward to hearing more about the wonderful musicians whose development AADGT actively supports.
Sincerely,
Martha Argerich
