Sounds of Hope Scholarship Fund
“This will be our reply to violence: to make music more intensely, more beautifully, more devotedly than ever before.” – Leonard Bernstein
When Rocky Ridge began in 1942 in the midst of World War II, Beth Miller Harrod, our founder, brought students up to the tranquility of the Rocky Mountains where they could practice in peace away from the brutality of the world around them.
In that same spirit, Rocky Ridge Music will offer several full-scholarships to musicians who have been displaced by recent violence throughout the world for our Summer 2022 programs.
Please help us achieve this goal by donating to our Sounds of Hope Scholarship Fund here.
This is a fund we’ve set up to help us achieve our goal of increasing access to music education to under-privileged musicians, encourage diverse perspectives, and foster intercultural community building
Scholarships for displaced musicians will cover all program tuition, airfare to Denver International Airport, land transportation to our campus in Estes Park, food, housing, bedding and, if necessary, instrument rental for each recipient. With this in mind, the cost to bring one student to our College Intensive: Solo + Chamber program will be approximately $7,500. The cost for one student to attend our Adult Piano Seminar will be approximately $5,000.
College Intensive: Solo + Chamber || May 31 to June 26, 2022
Adult Piano Seminar: Understanding the Solo Repertoire || August 2 to August 10, 2022
