“The W.I.S.E.* has created a community-brotherhood that helps us to reach out and collectively educate ourselves. The W.I.S.E.* brothers share common visions, common interest, and a passion for art and other expressions. W.I.S.E.* has served me with the reminder of what’s truly important; the connection to those who can truly collaborate to a similar consciousness. We truly emancipate our potentials when we are all interested in the same things. We work with ease and efficiency when the connections are real. I hope that my brothers at W.I.S.E.* stay forever entangled.”

“The WISE foundation* provided invaluable support to me over the course of several years when I was finishing my studies at the New England Conservatory in Boston. The transition from being a student to the first professional engagements is especially difficult for young musicians. The WISE foundation* provided opportunities for me to expand my professional connections, helped me financially, and most importantly were a constant source of inspiration and encouragement. I am immensely grateful for their support and honoured to have their friendship.”

“I recived scholarship from the foundation when I was 18 years old for the following purposes. I got familier with the music life of Boston, MA and other states around. Also recived lessons from worldclasss cello teachers such as Laurence Lesser and Rhonda Rhider, also listening materclasses in the conservatories around. The foundation helped me to develop my english skills, sponsoring my studies in a great language school. I also got to know the directos of this nice foundation, living with them in their house and I really felt being a part of the family.”
