The scholarship can also be transferred to anybody on your upcoming performance tour and is valid through December 31, 2022. This past year has given us time to reflect on the incredible relationships we have formed through years of travel, and we want to express our appreciation to everybody who has made that possible. We remain dedicated to our mission of taking your ensemble to new places, and our staff has worked tirelessly to provide safety, flexibility, and value as we prepare for the new future of music travel.
