9. may 2025
The KKFF Foundation has become the official patron of the piano section of the MenART Academy, further expanding its support for young musical talent. The Academy offers a unique environment where students, their teachers and leading personalities of the Czech art scene meet as mentors.
Teachers play an irreplaceable role in music education. Their exceptional work deserves recognition and reward.
As part of the MenART mentoring programme, experienced teachers accompany young pianists throughout the year under the guidance of Ivo Kahánek and Karel Košárek. We appreciate their commitment very much and therefore we have decided to support them financially.
"Talent is like a butterfly on wings. It is a gift you receive from God ‑ no one else can give it to you. But if you are careless with it, you can lose it," says Ivo Kahánek, a member of the expert panel of the Fandíme Talent programme and a mentor of the MenART Academy.
Every year, the MenART programme opens the opportunity to receive a one‑year scholarship and work under the guidance of 15 outstanding mentors. It offers students:
Intensive meetings, consultations and inspiring sharing of experiences.
The opportunity to develop and meet other colleagues from across the country.
The unforgettable experience of attending graduation ceremonies.
We wish the students and teachers every success!
