The name Lydiart was born from the legacy of Lydia van der Stok, the mother of Irma de Jong.
She is the musical inspiration and shining example with whom this association is associated. Lydia was an excellent amateur pianist who could never fulfill her dream of going to the conservatory. The post-war period required her to support her family.
We want to encourage those who want to fulfill their dreams and need financially or organizationally related support.
