The Giorgia Mileto Award

Press Office since 2002, Giorgia Mileto has been involved with dedication and passion in the organization of teaching, musical events and all Saint Louis activities, deeply involved in the growth not only of the AFAM Institute, but also of the many students who have attended it over the years, accompanying them from their first steps on stage and supporting them in their professional growth.

This is why Saint Louis, in agreement with the Mileto family, believes that the best way to remember our dear friend and colleague Giorgia is to reward the talent and dedication toward music of young musicians by promoting, each year, the establishment of scholarships that allow deserving students to continue their musical education within the framework of Level I and II academic courses.
