Words of Appreciation from 2025 Scholarship Recipients:

“I cannot thank you enough for your support. As the saying goes – it takes a village – and this is certainly true with opera singers. I have had such an incredible experience at Chautauqua. I have learned so much, had exceptional opportunities, and made important connections this summer that will help me towards my career goals in opera. My time here would not have been possible without your generous support, and I am so glad and lucky that you are now part of my village.” – H. L.

“I would like to extend a very sincere thank you for allowing me to participate in this year’s instrumental program! It truly means the world to me to be able to study in such an amazing environment, and I certainly wouldn’t have been able to attend without your generous scholarship. I’m currently at a point in my life where I’m working a non-musical job while I prepare for auditions, and being immersed in this Chautauqua environment has made me extremely happy and fulfilled, as well as better prepared to be a professional musician. So just please know how genuinely grateful I am, and how big of a difference you’ve made in my life.” – J.C.
