The announcement was made during a visit to the RCM by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.andreabocelli.com\/\">Andrea Bocelli<\/a>, the world-renowned singer and founder of ABF, and <a href=\"https:\/\/alj.com\/en\/our-people\/mohamed-jameel\/\">Mohammed Jameel KBE<\/a>, founder of Community Jameel, alongside the leaderships of both organisations. The beloved star and others attended a signing event with RCM Director Professor Colin Lawson and listened to a performance by talented young singers from the RCM Opera Studio, a dedicated training centre for the opera stars of tomorrow. The Andrea Bocelli Foundation-Community Jameel Scholarship was established by an endowment that is part of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rcm.ac.uk\/moremusic\/\"><em>More Music: Reimagining the Royal College of Music Campaign<\/em><\/a>. The scholarship will be used to support students who study full-time at the RCM and will be awarded on merit at audition and need, helping talented students to overcome barriers and access world-class training.<\/p>\n<p>Andrea Bocelli, the renowned tenor, founded ABF in 2011\u00a0to empower people and communities and help them overcome barriers in order to reach their full potential. Many of the foundation\u2019s core values are shared by Community Jameel, a\u00a0global philanthropy with a focus on creativity, entrepreneurship, innovation, and youth. Earlier this year, on stage at the Winter in Tantora festival in AlUla, Saudi Arabia, Bocelli <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arabnews.com\/node\/1445566\/saudi-arabia\">explained<\/a> how Mohammed Jameel, Community Jameel\u2019s founder, had inspired him to pursue philanthropy and found the ABF. Community Jameel has a commitment to promoting learning in the arts, including through <a href=\"https:\/\/artjameel.org\/\">Art Jameel<\/a>, an organisation that supports artists and creative communities, which Community Jameel founded in 2003.<\/p>\n<p>Maestro Andrea Bocelli stated:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cThe Andrea Bocelli Foundation believes that music education can become an integral part of the lives of children and youth. In fact, the Foundation\u2019s staff and volunteers work tirelessly to include and promote world-class programmes and methodologies that leverage music as a powerful tool to promote the discovery and full expression of the self.\u201d The Maestro added, \u201cWe are thrilled to take a new step in support of our commitment to music education with the establishment of the Andrea Bocelli Foundation-Community Jameel Scholarship at the Royal College of Music, one of the world\u2019s most esteemed institutions, in collaboration with our cherished partner Community Jameel.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/alj.com\/en\/our-people\/fady-jameel\/\">Fady Jameel<\/a>, President, International of Community Jameel, said:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cWith our goal of innovating for a better future, we have found in the Royal College of Music a global institution taking a creative approach to delivering musical education for all. In partnership with the Andrea Bocelli Foundation, and inspired by Maestro Bocelli himself, we are committed to improving access to the best vocal training for aspiring, talented singers from around the world. We look forward to future Andrea Bocelli Foundation-Community Jameel Scholars attaining the highest peaks of musical accomplishment.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<figure id=\"attachment_54629\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-54629\" style=\"width: 4226px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-54629 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/media.alj.com\/app\/uploads\/2019\/11\/RCM-ABF-CJ-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Royal College of Music and Andrea Bocelli Foundation Launched Scholarship\" width=\"4226\" height=\"3706\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.alj.com\/app\/uploads\/2019\/11\/RCM-ABF-CJ-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/media.alj.com\/app\/uploads\/2019\/11\/RCM-ABF-CJ-300x263.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media.alj.com\/app\/uploads\/2019\/11\/RCM-ABF-CJ-1024x898.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/media.alj.com\/app\/uploads\/2019\/11\/RCM-ABF-CJ-150x132.jpg 150w, https:\/\/media.alj.com\/app\/uploads\/2019\/11\/RCM-ABF-CJ-768x673.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media.alj.com\/app\/uploads\/2019\/11\/RCM-ABF-CJ-1536x1347.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/media.alj.com\/app\/uploads\/2019\/11\/RCM-ABF-CJ-2048x1796.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 4226px) 100vw, 4226px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-54629\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span style=\"font-size: 12px;\">L-R: Mrs Veronica Berti (wife of Maestro Bocelli), Mohammed Jameel (Founder of Community Jameel and Advisor to the Andrea Bocelli Foundation), Andrea Bocelli (Founder of the Andrea Bocelli Foundation), Emily Sierra (fourth year RCM student from the USA), Zwakele Tshabala (first year RCM Masters student from South Africa), Ms Laura Biancanali (President of the Andrea Bocelli Foundation), Professor Colin Lawson (Director of Royal College of Music), Mr Stefano Averda (Chairman of Andrea Bocelli Foundation), Fady Jameel (President of Art Jameel)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The RCM is the top conservatoire in the UK for Performing Arts according to the QS World University Rankings.
