Since 2020, F.E.S. Foundation has been supporting young talents in the sphere of classical music, working with the regions of Russia, and introducing the masterpieces of world opera classics to the Russian audience.
In 2020, the Foundation held a series of sold-out concerts in St. Petersburg with stars of the world opera and young Russian performers.

«We created F.E.S. for one purpose – the development of musical culture and art here in Russia, which is impossible without working with young talents. F.E.S. FOUNDATION team has big plans, because each of us has been involved or is now working in the classical music business. The Foundation is a matter of honor for us. Therefore, choosing quality as a priority in our work, focusing on the European principles of partnership, we are open to an honest dialogue and invite you to collaborate» - Dmitry Diedukh, Chief Executive Officer of F.E.S. Foundation
«We all speak different languages, live on different continents, think differently, but each of us perceives the universal, lively and multifaceted language of music. That is why F.E.S. Cultural Development Foundation was created» - Igor Smolin, President of the F. E. S. Foundation
Priority areas:
• To search in the regions of Russia and systematically support talents in the art of opera and ballet.
• To support initiatives which improve the quality of cultural projects (organization of concerts, festivals, events with the participation of opera and ballet stars)
• To develop the spiritual and personal level of the audience through acquaintance with the masterpieces of the world classical music heritage.
• To develop corporate partnerships through the use of the best practices of cooperation and integration of European cultural foundations.
