The Foundation seeks to identify the world's most gifted emerging artists as early as possible in their career cycles to provide maximum benefits for their future. Agramakov was selected as one of the youngest Apogee Merit Scholars ever at the age of 10. As a result of his outstanding series of performances at Apogee's Music Festival later in the same year, he was re-selected by the festival jury to continue as an Apogee Merit Scholar for another full term.
For more information, see the Foundation's 3 October 2006 news release.
