In Creative Fellowship we provide young talents with a multilayered experience: from supporting their studies and career paths to broadening their cultural horizons.
Last summer our fellow Mihaela Lazareva traveled to France to study baroque violin with the International Baroque Academy of Périgord Noir. In September we invited Mihaela to join the Days of European Heritage in the most baroque city imaginable — and the cradle of ballet — Versailles.
With the Opéra Royal of Château de Versailles opening its backstage, Mihaela completed her 360° baroque experience: setting foot in a landmark of baroque architecture, observing a baroque dance exhibition workshop, listening to a baroque opera performed by the students of the Music & Vocal Academy of the Royal Opera, and streaming her own mini-concert from a historic coffee salon.
(Watch the reel in our IG profile to see the reaction of the passers-by — you’ll be surprised!)
But studying and playing should always come with sightseeing! That’s how we ended up strolling through the streets of Paris, admiring the Eiffel Tower and the reconstructed Notre Dame. And, of course, we couldn’t miss the chance to visit the Louvre — you know us!
