The Excelentia Foundation, very prestigious in Spain, is a private foundation that develops its activities in the field of culture, being the most outstanding organization in the promotion of classical music. 

Last year, with the Honorary Presidency of Maestro Zubin Mehta and the sponsorship of the Embassy of Israel in Spain, the Excelentia Foundation and the Spanish Friends of the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra presented a trio of virtuosos of the Israel Philharmonic and the young pianist Yoav Levanon in the majestic Royal Hall of the ‘Casino de Madrid’, in a unique and unrepeatable evening aimed at a future collaboration with the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra.
