Schievents Foundation
Stichting Schievents (Cultural ANBI Stichting) is a non-profit organization that focuses on organizing cultural events, in particular the Fabrieklassiek concerts. These concerts offer high-quality classical music performances in unique industrial environments, where we strive for accessibility for a wide audience. This policy plan describes the objectives, activities, and financial strategies of the foundation.
Alexander and Tristan Chater founded Fabrieklassiek together with an eye for quality. Alexander's passion for classical music is a beautiful combination with Tristan's love for old buildings.
At Fabrieklassiek we search for the most unusual and unlikely places to present the beauty of classical music. We show the contrast between the raw, unrefined space and sensitive classical music. This keeps the visitor surprised and captivated.
