Association

Best Musicians of The World is an association set up in 2006 and sponsored by the conductor George Pehlivanian. It has set itself the goal of developing genuine high-quality music projects for young Europeans through an innovative teaching approach that breaks with the traditional methods used in conventional music schools.

Since its creation, it has focused on two types of action:

  • promoting discovery of classical music and creating a repertoire of choral works for children’s choirs and orchestra to be disseminated as broadly as possible in Europe;
  • training the new generation of international conductors and musicians for the great symphony orchestras and setting up a genuine training center for the best young European musicians in Le Touquet through organization of professional master classes led by George Pehlivanian himself.

Project

Best Musicians of the WorldThe Accor Foundation participated for the first time in setting up the TIMM (Touquet International Music Masters), which will be held from April 12 to 22, 2011 in Le Touquet. This is a major event during which several master classes will be organized to train young people for the profession of conductor.
