AADGT founder Elena Rossman and Lang Lang have known each other for many years. When Lang Lang launched his foundation to support young musicians, AADGT participated in the inaugural concert.
AADGT has gained a worldwide reputation for supporting young talented musicians in achieving their greatest potential.
We were honored when LCI Television, one of the leading French TV channels, reached out to do a documentary about AADGT’s Passion of Music concerts and one of the young Japanese talented musicians whom AADGT supported for many years.
CBS News recorded and aired a segment about one of AADGT’s Passion of Music winners and his journey to Carnegie Hall.
We are so proud of so many young artists who are achieving exceptional results in their musical journeys.
