Lovro and Lilly Matačić Foundation
The Lovro and Lilly Matačić Foundation was founded in 1987 according to the will of both, with an aim to improve the skill of exceptionally gifted young conductors, in Croatia and abroad. About the foundationThe foundation is a non-profit association that is striving to put the donors’ will in action: support and promote artistic development of young and talented conductors in Croatia and all over the world, as well as to publish and document works that will promote the achievement of the great maestro (Matačić monograph by Eva Sedak, albums with representative interpretations by Matačić, a number of exhibitions in the country and abroad related to Matačić's life and work). The foundation supports young conductors primarily through grants extended to a number of candidates and through the organization of the large international competition for conductors. The foundation has offered scholarships or other types of financial assistance to numerous young Croatian conductors at the start of their careers. The supported conductors include Alan Bjelinski, Saša Britvić, Tonči Bilić, Tomislav Fačini, Ivan Repušić, Mladen Tarbuk, Luka Vukšić, etc. With the Lovro von Matačić International Competition of Young Conductors, the foundation aims to organize an event of global significance worthy of the artist whose name it shares, and to provide an opportunity for young generations of musicians to achieve international acclaim in accordance with the nature of Lovro von Matačić's artistic legacy. In this, the foundation is assisted by the distinguished members of the foundation Council, including Riccardo Muti, Wolfgang Sawallisch, Kent Nagano, Milan Horvat, Igor Kuljerić...
