Each May, a jury of CMC faculty and staff auditions students for full scholarships for the next school year’s private lessons. These awards are based on need and merit. This year the jury heard dozens of youths play an extraordinarily diverse repertoire.
The jury wishes to thank everyone who help prepare students for the juries this year and to the many students who participated in the juries.
We are proud to announce the following students who will receive Merit Scholarships for private lessons during the 2023-2024 school year and the selected participants for the CMC All-School Recital.
Be sure to catch our Merit Scholars in action at the All-School Recital on Sunday, June 4th at 4pm at Sha’ar Zahav 290 Dolores St, San Francisco. Admission is free of charge.
