For several decades, the Santa Barbara Music Club Scholarships have provided support to deserving instrumental and vocal music students from Santa Barbara County. The scholarships are made possible by the generosity of our donors who wish to provide aid and encouragement to outstanding music students from local schools and teaching studios that show promise of becoming our future soloists, orchestral musicians, opera singers, and other music professionals. Success stories from past scholarship recipients testify to the importance of this support and vote of confidence in these formative stages of their careers.
We are pleased to announce that the 2022 Scholarship Auditions took place in person this year. We are also pleased to announce the return of our popular Scholarship Showcase concerts, featuring a sampler of the scholarship recipients.
Please note that Concert II will be in one week following Concert I.
