The Scholarship awards a Year Ten student with $4,000, to be used to pay for instrumental tuition and/or professional development, and is $2,000 per year for two years, paid during Years Eleven and Twelve. Initiated in 1990 in honour of Theodore Kuchar, founding Artistic Director of the Australian Festival of Chamber Music (AFCM), the Scholarship aims to support young emerging artists in the local community by increasing opportunities for creative growth and skill development at an advanced level.
Townsville Mayor Jenny Hill, Australian Festival of Chamber Music Executive Director Ricardo Peach and Do Young’s music teacher Christine Pulvirenti WILL CELEBRATE the news with Do Young at The Strand.
