Glimmerglass Rewards Area Music Students

We recently announced the recipients of our 2010 Music Student Rewards Program. Each year, the Music Student Rewards Program awards two tickets to a Festival production to local students who are nominated based on their musical achievements by their high schools.

This year, the program has been expanded to offer this opportunity to students in more than 100 schools in the Central New York region. We also offered the students the opportunity to schedule a free backstage tour.

“These sorts of programs are what help mold students into becoming professional musicians, who can continue to supply the world with beautiful music,” said Ryan Chatterton, a K-12 Music Education Teacher at Laurens Central School.

In addition to the company’s $10 youth ticket prices and 50-percent discount for students, programs like the Music Student Rewards Program have been developed to encourage older generations to expose younger generations to opera.
