The Foundation's mission is to nurture young artists, foster collaborative artistic enterprise and create opportunities within the community for shared cultural experience.

For over five decades, Lorin Maazel has been one of the world's most esteemed and sought-after conductors. In spring 2011, he completed his fifth and final season as the inaugural Music Director of the Palau de les Arts Reina Sofia in Valencia, Spain. Music Director of the New York Philharmonic from 2002 to 2009, he assumed the same post with the Munich Philharmonic at the start of the 2012/13 season.
Dietlinde Turban's first stage appearance at the age of 19 as Gretchen in Goethe's Faust in the Residenz-Theatre in Munich brought her national fame. She has received great accolades for her acting.
