Anna Netrebko and Erwin Schrott have started their own foundation to support children

Superstars Anna Netrebko and Erwin Schrott have started their own foundation to support children. Christoph Hillenbrand, District President of Upper Bavaria, handed the deed of foundation over to them on Friday, accompanied by words of gratitude: “Thanks to your work, you will outlive all of us.”

With Foundation Managers Michael van Almsick and Albert Luppart being present, Anna Netrebko and Erwin Schrott spoke about their motivation: “We have wanted to help all of our lives. At some point we said to ourselves: Let’s do something serious. Of course, our popularity gives us the opportunity to make use of it for children in need of help.”

The “Anna & Erwin Foundation – Anna Netrebko und Erwin Schrott for Kids” starts with an endowment capital of € 50 000,-, coming from both artists’ private funds. “A dream has come true for us”. The first projects to be aided shall be the SOS Children’s Villages, a children’s hospital in St. Petersburg, the Austrian foundation “Unser Kind” as well as the Spanish foundation A.Va.Pa.Ce. Seat of the foundation is Grünwald near Munich, Germany
