Provoquez l’exceptionnel
The Foundation of L'École supérieure de ballet du Québec is currently conducting the Provoquez l’exceptionnel fundraising campaign whose objective is both to meet the immediate needs of L'École Supérieure and to activate an endowment fund to meet future requirements and ensure the flourishing of the young artists of tomorrow.
The main projects of this campaign include boosting scholarships, increasing the physical and psychological health services offered to students and setting up a training room. The financial goal is $3 million over three years, including $1 million in planned donations.
The Foundation has the privilege of counting on significant support for our institution. Ms. Katia Mead, daughter of Ms. Chiriaeff, the founder of the school and Les Grands Ballets, warmly accepted the honorary presidency of the campaign.

Provoquez l’exceptionnel Fundraising campaign
"I am very proud to join the Create the Exceptional fundraising campaign. It is a way to pay tribute to the vision of my mother, Ludmilla Chiriaeff, and to ensure that Quebec can continue to offer our young artists world-class professional dance training. As my mother used to say, “dance is movement, and movement is life.” Day after day, year after year, the École supérieure de ballet du Québec provides its students a rich education, recognized for training the performers, creators and teachers who will be our society’s future cultural leaders. With your support, the campaign will help the École supérieure reach new heights and achieve new ambitions. Won’t you join us?"
