The Fondation Francis & Marie-France Minkoff, a philanthropic family foundation created in 2009, is active in various fields, such as education, scientific research, social and humanitarian action, while devoting a significant part of its commitment to culture, particularly symphonic music.
In this capacity, the Fondation Francis & Marie-France Minkoff is a particularly strong supporter of the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande, an orchestra with which the Minkoff family has had ties dating back almost to its creation by Ernest Ansermet a century ago.
From the outset, the reputation of the OSR and its illustrious conductor quickly spread beyond our borders, making them ‘extraordinary ambassadors’ for our region and an essential part of symphonic and operatic life in French-speaking Switzerland. True to its history, the orchestra is committed to perpetuating this reputation and maintaining the highest standards. To help it achieve this, the Fondation Francis & Marie-France Minkoff provides friendly and generous support.
The Fondation Francis & Marie-France Minkoff would like to thank Maestro Jonathan Nott, artistic and musical director, for sharing his passion and talent with us and for giving us such beautiful musical performances, Mrs Charlotte de Senarclens, President of the OSR Foundation, Mr Steve Roger, Director General, all the managers and, of course, the musicians for their dedication to giving their very best and striving for excellence in order to offer the public concerts of the highest quality.
