Betty Haag Academy of Music
We also provide an important resource to many young musicians learning at the Betty Haag Academy of Music and offer them real opportunities to perform within a professional forum, in front of a large audience, with some of todays’ biggest names in classical music. We feel that these performances are seminal in convincing talented young players to follow a career in music. Even to those who ultimately will choose different paths, such an experience imparts a deeper sensitivity towards supporting classical music in adulthood, both financially and by offering their own children a much easier and natural access to music.
The Music Institute of Chicago Academy
Talented student chamber music ensembles from the Music Institute of Chicago Academy receive conservatory level master classes from our Festival Artists. Additionally they perform in the festival’s own Next Generation String Ensemble.
The Arkady Fomin Scholarship Fund
The AFSF was created in 2015 to celebrate and perpetuate the legacy and spirit of Arkady Fomin: renowned violinist, beloved teacher, conductor, and longtime member of Dallas Symphony. The fund awards educational scholarships to talented college and pre-college musicians from around the world, mentoring their artistic development, and supporting them in the most formative years of their lives.
