NYSMF
is very proud to be working with the legendary New
York Pops Orchestra and the amazing Salute
to Music Program, to provide amazing opportunities to the best
young musicians in New York City to attend the challenging,
exciting NYSMF program each summer.
Dr.
Sherrie Maricle, Education Director for both the NY
Pops and for NYSMF, and the wonderful staff
of the NY Pops coordinate the Martin
Ormandy Scholarship program (named
after the orchestra’s founding principal cellist),
in which outstanding young musicians are give the chance
to win one of
five full two-week scholarships
to the New York Summer Music Festival.
The
five young people, all from New York City public schools, are
selected after having shown exceptional musical growth
during
the academic year as participants in the orchestra’s
Salute
to Music program, which provides free instrumental
lessons to more than a hundred music students throughout
the city’s five boroughs.
In
May, more than two dozen students from Salute to Music
are selected to
perform with The New York Pops at the orchestra’s
gala concert. From this group, five are chosen as winners
of the prestigious Martin Ormandy Scholarship.
We
would like to thank the entire Education
Department of the NY Pops and all the talented members
of the Salute to Music program for their support!
