Application deadline December 1, 2010. Exceptional young musicians from throughout the state are invited to compete for a top scholarship of $10,000 in the Stamford Symphony's Instrumental Scholarship Competition. Eligible musicians will: 1) be a high school senior during the 2010-2011 school term, 2) reside in or attend high school in Connecticut and 3) play an orchestral instrument. Students must intend to pursue a music degree at an accredited university or conservatory. The receipt deadline is December 1, 2010 and applications can be found on the Symphony website: www.stamfordsymphony.org (click "Education"). Past winners have used Symphony scholarships to fund their studies at the Curtis Institute, Eastman School of Music, Hartt School of Music, The Juilliard School, Manhattan School of Music, Mannes School of Music, Princeton University, and Yale University, among others, and several are active professional musicians. The Jeniam Foundation funds two prizes: the top prize of $10,000 ($2,500 annually) and the second place award of $7,000 ($1,750 annually). Seven Jeniam scholars are currently pursuing advanced music studies at accredited conservatories and universities thanks to the Jeniam Foundation's generous support of the Stamford Symphony's Instrumental Scholarship Competition. Music Director Eckart Preu notes, "The future of classical music relies on the enthusiasm of today's young musicians. It is so hard for young people today to keep practicing and going to rehearsals without recognition and encouragement. The Symphony wants to identify the most talented students in our schools so we can help them be excited about their studies. I have heard many extraordinary players here in Connecticut and I want the Symphony to be a part of their future success."
