New York, NY – The Apogee Foundation has begun its 2009/2010 season building on its historic record of success cultivating creative excellence worldwide by introducing new multi-disciplinary, multi-cultural programs empowering creative artists to achieve their fullest potential.

Apogee President Kenneth Schneider said: "It is my pleasure to applaud Apogee's dedicated supporters around the world on the extraordinary levels of recognition and success their efforts have achieved. The continued expansion of the Foundation's global programs demonstrates every day our collective ability to inspire mankind to fulfill its greatest vision of itself."

During the 2008/2009 season just concluded, Apogee achieved new milestones of distinction and effectiveness, including being named “Top Non-Profit” in the inaugural Fast Pitch! Business Awards.

Apogee also partnered with international media and technology group Aurience Ltd. to enhance the Foundation's ability to fulfill its mission through film, broadcast, recording and interactive media. Joint Apogee-Aurience productions have created greater awareness of Apogee Awards laureates, increased the impact of Apogee Academy educational programs, and expanded the reach of Apogee Artists performance events worldwide.

Apogee’s trademark Synergy Programs, offering artists from diverse cultural backgrounds the opportunity to transcend boundaries together, will form a centerpiece of the Foundation's programs during the coming period. In the next stage of Synergy's evolution, the Foundation will focus on the power of sacred music as a transcendent medium able to convey new forms of understanding and enkindle the sharing of values across cultural boundaries.

As Apogee begins its 2009/2010 season, the Foundation's focus will be placed on transforming creative artists' entire career paths by re-envisioning the types of institutions within which those careers develop and actualize. The Foundation is now exploring possibilities for the launch of global creative centers where gifted artists can discover their own unique forms of expression as well as means of sharing these with the world at-large. In doing so, the Foundation plans to integrate the most effective educational and artistic traditions from both East and West into holistic, multi-disciplinary educational environments where creative artists can explore and fulfill their greatest potential together.

Apogee's aim is to recognize and empower every person's ability to contribute to inspiring creative excellence around the world. The Foundation’s management therefore welcomes the public's participation in shaping its future work in carrying out its mission by responding to a brief questionnaire, which can be found at the conclusion of Apogee's autumn 2009 newsletter: http://www.apogeefoundation.org/documents/newsletters/apogee_newsletter_...
