Digital Archive

The Idil Biret Education Initiative is dedicated to archiving and preserving Idil’s legacy both digitally and physically. Thousands of letters, musical scores,  programs, posters, liner notes,  photographs and mementos must be cataloged, digitized, and safely stored so that future generations can access and enjoy her life’s work and collections.  

Below you can see our 6 phase plan to accomplish this.
