Artists & transmission
Instruments that help talent grow.
The loan programme places the Foundation’s instruments in the hands of artists, students and emerging talents at the precise moment when that encounter can open a new chapter — all the way to major international stages.
Every loan begins by listening closely: to the artist’s level, musical personality, repertoire and stage of life. The encounter with the instrument then develops within a clear framework, with care, maintenance and support.
Maria Yushkovskaya offers one living example today. Carbonare no. 345, on loan from L’Édifice Éternel, accompanies her as she joins the Israel Philharmonic in Tel Aviv — a step that illustrates the programme’s purpose: to carry a talent all the way to the orchestra. This instrument is distinct from the 1993 Carbonare presented to Yehudi Menuhin.
Other instruments support students and talents whose names or arrangements remain confidential where necessary. The programme is more than a handover: it connects each musician with stages, encounters and audiences.
A story entrusted to us
In Haifa, music gathered people.
A mother played the violin in the park while she took her children there. Around her, passers-by gathered. Her family gave her violins to L’Édifice Éternel. Today they return to the hands of children and artists, so that the story continues.
An instrument that once gathered people can gather them again.
Three commitments
- 01
Lend
Entrust an instrument from the collection to a musician, for a defined period, within a clear written framework — from the artist’s studies to the orchestra.
- 02
Maintain
Provide set-up, follow-up and restoration, so the instrument keeps its best voice throughout the loan, on stage and in rehearsal.
- 03
Accompany
Connect the artist to stages, encounters and audiences: a loan alone does not build a career, and a great orchestra begins with a supported path.
