Support a talented player

Per S. Ovesen - Rare Violins is actively involved in raising capital for fine stringed instruments to be loaned to talented string players, both at home (Singapore) and abroad.

Patrons of the arts are not a new invention but have been around for centuries. The Medici family and the Royal courts of Europe, springs to mind as early enthusiasts in this field.

In our time and age wealthy individuals, banks and institutions have increasingly stepped forward to lend the strugling musicians a financial hand, allowing them to further their careers with the necessary tools of the trade, namely top quality instruments.

Philanthropy in its purest form still exist, but the more common form today is for the investor to purchase the instrument, then loan it to a talented player for a specified period of time. The player pays the insurance and maintenance of the instrument and usually agrees to one or two "free" concerts a year, at a venue of the investors choice. This could be the investors private home or a companies function.

As the instruments in question has steadily increased in value at double digit percentage points, this form of "philanthropy" eventually becomes a very good investment for the investor, as well as giving the pleasure of  nurturing a tallent to its fullest potential.

If you are a wealthy individual, or a representative of a bank or institution with an interest in supporting the arts in a major way, please do not hesitate to contact us at any time.
