NY POPS ORMANDY SCHOLARSHIP @ NYMSF

The New York Pops Orchestra continues its active support of NYSMF with the Ormandy Scholarship! Here's the description from the NY Pops website:

ORMANDY SCHOLARSHIP

New York Summer Music Festival
Each year select Salute to Music students receive scholarships to attend
the New York Summer Music Festival.

Named after the orchestra’s founding principal cellist, Martin Ormandy, the scholarship rewards students who have shown exceptional musical growth during the school year and who exhibit the musicality and discipline necessary to excel.

Interested students submit an essay on how they would benefit from the scholarship. Winners receive free tuition and expense reimbursement to attend a two-week session at the New York Summer Music Festival and Institute. There, they concentrate on improving their skills on their instruments while practicing and performing in a community of like-minded musicians.

Two free weeks at NYSMF! Visit the NY Pops site for details, and good luck -- although in reality, you actually don't need any luck, you need to be a good musician above all else. So keep playing and keep pushing yourself, it can pay off nicely.

Thanks NY Pops, and thanks Dr. Maricle for your wonderful support of NYSMF.
