On 3 December 2013, the Boris and Ināra Teterev Foundation signed a collaboration agreement with Jāzeps Vītols Latvian Academy of Music (JVLMA) for the provision of support to fund the participation of JVLMA’s most talented students at major international competitions for three academic years. The goal is to secure broader recognition for Latvian musicians around the world, to help them to establish themselves on the international music scene, thus promoting Latvia’s profile overseas. The Foundation is financing the participation of JVLMA students, including Master’s and doctoral students in important competitions overseas, covering both the competition participation fees and other expenses related to the students’ participation in international competitions such as their travel and living expenses. Students secure the opportunity to take part in this project by way of a competition.
In 2014, seven students received support from the Foundation, enabling them to take part in competitions in Israel, Germany, Finland, Poland and France.
