Esk Community Choir is calling for nominations from talented
music students to apply for the 2012
$1000 Bursary.
Since the
formation of the Esk Community Choir 34 years ago, the choir has seen its role
within the local community as one of real significance and potential. This is particularly
directed towards the musical potential in the youth of the district and, in addition
to giving regular concerts and encouragement sessions in local schools as well
as providing the children of the area a platform from which to showcase their
talents, the Esk Community Choir has,
since 2009, initiated an award of a $1000 bursary to assist students from the
Esk/ Toogoolawah Region, 17 years and under, who exhibit outstanding musical
talent. This money awarded is to assist
the successful student with expenses involved in their musical education.
To date,
two young instrumentalists have been recipients of the $1000 bursary. Trumpet player, Courtney Oxenford, who in
2009, a student at Toogoolawah High
School, was enabled to attend musical
workshops overseas and has since been selected to play trumpet with the
Tasmanian Youth Orchestra. Courtney’s
musical career continues to soar. Clarinetist, Holly Smith, at the
time of her receiving the bursary also a student at Toogoolawah High School, has gone on to become a vital member of the
Queensland Youth Orchestra.
