Masterclass Media Foundation
The Masterclass Media Foundation is a not-for-profit organisation based in the UK whose goal is the creation of a unique archive of the world’s greatest musicians and music teachers filmed teaching or giving masterclasses. This archive, which will be made available to music colleges and students throughout the world, will ultimately be deposited with a leading academic institution for safe-keeping in perpetuity. It will form a teaching resource of priceless value for this and succeeding generations and a means by which the insights and genius of the world’s great musicians can be preserved for posterity.
The Foundation is associated with the Royal Academy of Music in London.
