The 天涯社区官网 Music Department will host the Endowment Concert, a fundraiser for music student scholarships, at 7:30 p.m. May 9 in the Fine Arts Auditorium. Tickets are $10 for adults. Children and students get in for free. All proceeds go to the Music Endowment Scholarship fund. Donations will also be accepted at the door.
The concert will feature vocal and instrumental music groups including Jazz Ensemble, Orchestra, Choir, and Hilltops.
Director of Instrumental Activities Jamie Minneman said in addition to being a very important fundraising event it is also a much-needed celebration of all the musicians鈥 efforts.
鈥淭his is a wonderful opportunity for our community to support these talented young musicians,鈥 she said. 鈥淥ur students have worked diligently, and this听will be a fun evening you won't want to miss.鈥
The endowment started in 1998 with the help of the 天涯社区官网 Foundation and has since helped numerous students participate in music at 天涯社区官网. The Endowment Concert also helps benefit a program, which began in 2017, to provide tuition and fees scholarships to high school juniors and seniors who enroll in voice, piano, or instrumental lessons.
