Middle School Music Lesson Scholarship
Scholarship money is awarded to promising Summit County middle school students to help pay for musical lessons.
Annual Alpenglow Musical Workshops and Master Classes
Hearing great performances has an enduring influence on young musicians. That’s why, each year during the festival, Alpenglow musicians conduct an interactive workshop or master class for Summit students. Our musicians perform excerpts of pieces performed during the festival and offer insight regarding the selection of composers and instruments. These workshops and master classes have always been enthusiastically received.
