Message from the General & Artistic Director
When a student chooses the Orford Music Academy, they get access to the highest quality training alongside experienced mentors and a welcoming community that encourages intellectual curiosity and creativity. Our goal is for each young talent to find its place and reach its full potential.
For an emerging musician, receiving a scholarship is significant, as it is a recognition of past efforts whilst also a sign of confidence in their future.

The Orford Music Scholarship Fund
In 2022, over $165,000 in scholarships were distributed to 255 students.
The Orford Music Scholarship Fund allows talented up-and-coming musicians to benefit from an education that is at the height of their talent, regardless of their means. Your contribution directly lowers the cost for students and pays the sometimes-significant costs associated with such a large-scale program.
Thank you for your help which is so crucial in my development and that of other emerging musicians.
– Ariane, voice
