Since its inception, Swiss Global seeks to benefit artists while providing significant cultural experiences. Beginning with classical musicians, the Foundation has expanded its scope and now includes jazz talents as well as musical theater performers.

The Foundation is pleased to announce the recent addition of Sabina Rakcheyeva violin to its distinguished roster of Young Artists.

Ms Rakcheyeva, the first Azerbaijani musician affiliated with Swiss Global, is also the first Azerbaijani to be accepted to the Juilliard School in New York. She appeared as a soloist with orchestras in Azerbaijan, Europe and the United States, performed in more than forty countries and was featured on BBC, CNN, Voice of America Radio and US government television.

Swiss Global Young Artist Konstantin Soukhovetski piano joins the Foundation Development Team this month. Based in New York, the Russian pianist will assist Briana Lesesne in the London office with the management of Russian Friends of Swiss Global, a newly-formed circle.

The Foundation is delighted to announce the upcoming launch of its newly forming circle: The Middle Eastern Friends of the Swiss Global Artistic Foundation. Swiss Global is expanding to certain countries of the Middle East beginning in January 2012. We welcome John Habib (President and General Counsel, United Arab Emirates) and Talal Karami (President, Qatar) to the Foundation Staff.
