NEW Academy of Music Scholarship Fund
We will launch this effort at the UNW Orchestra Children's Concert! This is a FREE concert, but every year we ask attendees to consider making a charitable donation to a select charity. This year, we have chosen the Academy of Music Scholarship Fund to receive these charitable donations. In doing so, you will help in enabling lower-income families to participate in music instruction offered by the Academy.
To donate to this worthy cause, click on the link below OR bring your donation to the Academy of Music display table before/after the UNW Orchestra Children's Concert. A tax receipt will be issued.
Mission statement
The Academy of Music seeks to provide quality musical instruction and performance opportunities for community members of all ages and backgrounds to develop their God-given gifts.
