Stichting Bevordering Jong Talent
Stichting Bevordering Jong Talent (SBJT) is founded in 2018 with the goal to provide support and guidance to talented young musicians. The main activities of the Fund include organising concerts, masterclasses, intercultural exchange programs and other projects aimed at offering favourable conditions in which young gifted musicians can grow creatively and develop their international activities. An additional objective of the Foundation is to reach young people as a target audience group.
In the past 5 years, a number of projects have been organised, such as artistic exchange projects, in collaboration with the Sweelinck Academy of the Conservatory of Amsterdam, the Young Talent Department of the Royal Conservatory in The Hague, the Princess Christina Competition and other institutions for young talent. Since 2022, the foundation has shifted its focus entirely on Dutch talents, with projects such as “Young musicians in the Concertgebouw”, “Rising Stars with NPKA” and “On the Way to the Top” with MuziekHaven Zaandam”.
Our mission
The Foundation is established with the purpose of bringing art as close as possible to the children, open their minds and interest to it. This is done by means of guiding and supporting talented young people in their creative and artistic development. On the other hand, through organising concerts, exhibitions and other projects, we want to focus the attention of children and young people on ballet, opera, classical music and visual art. Our mission is to reach them as the target audience group.
Next to this, the Foundation aims to preserve and develop cultural values , traditions and cooperation (exchange) between young people in Europe.
Our vision
Although initially focused on musical talent, the Foundation certainly envisions to expand to young talents in other artistic fields in the future. We are a group of enthusiastic people who share the passion for arts and gifted children. Working closely with parents, partners and allied organizations, we are happy to help talented children develop internationally.
