 Marin Music Chest held its annual scholarship winners concert on May 7 featuring solo performances by 11 young classical musicians honored with 2023 Marin Music Chest Scholarship awards.

   Five musicians are selected from each year’s scholarship winners to perform at a special concert called the Young Artists Concert, which is sponsored by the Mill Valley Chamber Music Society.  These performers are selected by the judges as being the best of all the scholarship winners of the season. Consideration is also given to presenting a good, balanced program, as instrumentation is an important factor. The five performers are paid an honorarium, often their first earnings for a music performance. 

   Marin Music Chest is a private, nonprofit organization staffed by an all-volunteer board of

directors with an extensive musical background and an artistic council with professional

backgrounds in music since 1933. For more information, visit marinmusicchest.org.
