Virtuoso & Belcanto Festival's mission is to promote and nurture talented young musicians from all over the world. In addition to being Manager of Development for the U.S., I have the joy and honor of, during the Festival every July, supervising the scholarship students with their work/study program.

Although tuition for the Festival is low, not all students can afford it along with the overall costs (travel, lodging, meals, etc.) so, for those students in need, we offer significant scholarships so that they can come and benefit from life-changing and career-enhancing opportunities the Festival offers.

This last July I worked with students from the U.S., Ukraine, China, Portugal, Brazil, Japan, the Czech Republic, and beyond. They were just wonderful, eager and grateful to help in any ways they could.

Your contribution will make it possible for the Festival to invite even more students in need of financial support; please give what you can to support these wonderful young musicians, their goals and futures!
