Mission & Vision

Fondation Gautier Capuçon aims to support the musical vocation of exceptional young artists in France and abroad during their studies and to help them in the first steps of their career.

Actions Led

The foundation focuses on 18-25-year-old musicians who have graduated from a national higher conservatory (or an equivalent abroad) or obtained a conservatory prize, but also young musicians who have a project to pursue their studies.

Projects that US Donors Can Support

With Friends of Fondation de France, US donors will support a scholarship program for young deserving musicians and awards to help them at the beginning of their professional life for concert and recording opportunities.

In a world where budding musicians face countless challenges, the Fondation Gautier Capuçon emerged as a beacon of hope. Launched amidst the COVID-19 turmoil by renowned cellist Gautier Capuçon, this initiative offers not just scholarships, but a platform for young talents to shine. From granting study opportunities to orchestrating concerts with established maestros, the foundation’s inaugural year is replete with tales of passion, perseverance, and promise.
