Welcome to the Bradetich Foundation. Since 2008, the Foundation has been dedicated to advancing the performance, teaching, and understanding of the double bass. Built on the vision of founder Jeff Bradetich and shaped by more than forty years of service to the profession, our work focuses on identifying exceptional artists and supporting their growth through international competitions, debut performances, recordings, and concert tours. Through education, collaboration, and public engagement, we strive to raise artistic standards, expand the instrument’s reach, and inspire the next generation of double bass players around the world.
