We would like to start this report off highlighting an incredible success story! Adrian Atonya is an extremely talented, Kenyan violinist. He has been attending Musicians for the World’s virtual violin classes for 2 years now and, fro the very start, we were incredibly impressed by his abilities. As we got to know him better, we discovered that he was a self taught violinist and had only been playing for a few years. We were blown away!
Over the last year and a half, MFW has been providing Adrian with high quality internet so that he could take a weekly lesson with Anton Polezhayev, former violinist from the New York Philarmonic.
Fast forward to today and Adrian has been offered the Presdential Scholarship at the Boston Conservatory at Berklee to study with violinist Saul Bitran! This award will cover his full tuition, on-campus housing, meal plan, and comprehensive fee, which represents a total of $69,110 annually and is renewable for all 4 years of Adrian’s bachelor’s degree.
We are very excited to keep you updated on Adrian's successful carrier in the USA. We want to thank all of you for your support in making all of this possible!
