The Women Stars of Tomorrow

TSKB’s supports in the field of culture and the arts goes back many years. We have been supporting the concerts within the scope of the Music Festival organized by the Istanbul Foundation for Culture and Arts (İKSV) since 1990.

In line with our carbon-neutral banking approach, we neutralised the carbon footprint from the concerts which we sponsored between 2014 and 2017, enabling the festival's first and only Zero Carbon concerts to go ahead.

With the "Women Stars of Tomorrow" education support fund, which we introduced as part of the Istanbul Music Festival from 2018, we support the advancement of talented young women musicians in their careers in the international arena in the branches of instrumental performances, vocals and orchestra conducting. Women musicians who have received an undergraduate or graduate degree from a music school abroad and are seeking to continue their music education abroad, or those who need support to participate in activities such as master classes, orchestra selection and international competitions which will contribute positively to their career development, or purchase instruments, may apply to this fund.

Our stars, who also give a concert every year as part of the Istanbul Music Festival, are accompanied on stage by veteran artists such as Mses. İdil Biret, Ayla Erduran, Ayşegül Sarıca and Gülsin Onay.

A total of 90 students benefited from the scholarship fund, 14 in 2018, 14 in 2019, 12 in 2020, 13 in 2021, 16 in 2022, and 21 in 2023.
