Internationally acclaimed concert pianist Justin Kolb has partnered with the Community Foundation for South Central New York to establish the Justin Kolb Music Scholarship Fund, supporting high school seniors accepted as undergraduate music majors at accredited schools of music.
The scholarship will serve as a note of appreciation to Catskill/Hudson Valley parents, patrons, and students for supporting my efforts to acknowledge the merit and value of performing and fine art as the cultural DNA in everyone, Kolb said.
Once fully funded, the scholarship will be available to students across more than 25 schools in Delaware County and the surrounding region. Support this scholarship by donating at https://tinyurl.com/JKolbMusic
Kolb’s international career has taken him from Budapest to Santa Barbara. In addition to performing, he has presented master classes and motivational clinics to hundreds of students from prekindergarten through university level, and founded musical festivals and camps. This piano virtuoso also continues to perform for seniors and underserved students on a pro bono basis.
