Russian Chamber Music Foundation of Seattle is a non-profit organization that has great potential to exemplify the many facets of Russian music. For example, the involvement of children in festivals and competitions will allow them to develop broader knowledge of Russian music and obtain better technique. Inviting well-known artists as adjudicators of festivals and competitions will capture a broad range of people both in the audience and the participants. Outreach programs in schools will increase the diversity in their music programs. The Russian Chamber Music Foundation has been presented with the opportunity to work with the very prestigious Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center in New York on collaborative projects. We at RCMFS can definitely build a cultural foundation of Russian chamber music and demonstrate that anyone can listen to, learn, and perform Russian music.

Our mission is “to bring the best of Russian music to American audiences.” We are promoting Russian chamber music and also hoping to develop stronger cultural relationships between the United States and Russia. The arts are a wonderful arena in which to find common ground that transcends cultural, political and geographic boundaries. The commitment of our founders and sponsors will make this great project possible!
