Empowering Dreams, Transforming Lives
At The Primavera Fund, we believe that every individual should have the opportunity to pursue their dreams and achieve their full potential, regardless of their financial circumstances. Recognizing the critical role that financial support plays in empowering individuals, we are dedicated to providing support that opens doors and transforms lives.
Our Directors focus on the individual needs of each Primavera Artist, preparing them for acceptance into the world’s top conservatories and university music programs, and ultimately for a life in music that is dynamic and sustainable.
The Primavera Fund was named after the late Maestro Joseph Primavera. Learn about his legacy here.
