Study in Israel: Program for Excelling Greek Musicians

AICF Israel partners with the prominent Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF) to enable talented Greek musicians to study abroad for 1-2 years at Tel Aviv University’s Buchmann-Mehta School of Music or the Jerusalem Academy of Music and Dance.

Both SNF and AICF provide generous grants toward tuition, housing, and living expenses for exceptional students accepted into these prestigious institutions. The program facilitates an artistic exchange between Israeli and Greek musicians, including artistic collaboration, performances, and masterclasses.

This is an exciting opportunity for top young Greek artists to study in Israel and take part in artistic collaborations between the two countries within the America-Israel Cultural Foundation and the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF) partnership.
