„Friends of Juan Diego Flórez” is a private, non-profit organization founded in Vienna in 2015 by a group of people who believe that music is an effective resource for the improvement of life conditions of children and teenagers from social disadvantaged backgrounds. This group of people shares with tenor Juan Diego Flórez initiatives and the interest in promoting young, talented musicians from all over the world and in inspiring them to contribute to a social change through the power of music. Thanks to members and donors the association has raised funds to support music centres and activities which encourage children's development and change their attitude towards life, their families and consequently, society. The projects currently supported by the association are:
