Marilyn Anderson, center, congratulations scholarship award winners
The Orcas Island Chamber Music Festival was proud to award four High School seniors with The Marilyn Anderson Young Musician’s Award, supported by the Thyra and Bud Anderson Advised Fund. OICMF Board of Director Emeritus Marilyn Anderson, and OICMF Executive Director Leslie Rae Schmitz, presented awards to Mikaela Hansen, Celestine Jensen, Lisa Carter and Emy Carter at the Celebration of Success ceremony on June 12, 2015.
This annual $500 award for graduating seniors honors students who have demonstrated that music is an important element in their lives. Their music involvement could include singing, playing an instrument, composing, or recording of music. The award is named for founding OICMF Board member Marilyn Anderson and her dedication to music education. This tradition began in 2007, and has been a source of encouragement for music students, acknowledging the importance of their practice, performance, enjoyment and love of music. Congratulations Young Musicians!
