The program supports Artistic Collaborations between the two countries, which have featured partnerships between the Israeli Chamber Project, the Musical Diaries International Workshop Festival, the Greek Composers Union, BeArtive, the Municipal Conservatory of Pylaia-Chortiatis, among others.
The program is supported by The Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF)
“The program is one of the greatest things for me as a Greek musician. It enabled me to study in Israel at one of the best music schools in the world. The knowledge I have gained here in two years is incredible; I’m truly thankful that I have this opportunity to study through this program.”

“The SNF/AICF grant program was a lifesaver because it provided me the economic support that I truly needed to complete my studies. My artistic life changed for the best – I met many great musicians and amazing teachers, and the collaborations here have made me a better musician. On top of it all, I had the best teacher that I could imagine.”
