Youth Music Education
Developing The Next Generation
To further our mission of choral excellence in the schools, The Gary & Patricia Lamprecht Education Endowment was established in 2017 in recognition of our 40th anniversary. The endowment provides for scholarships in the areas of choral music and orchestral strings. Each year we award a $1000 scholarship to two local high school seniors to continue their education in music. Deadline to apply for the scholarship is Friday, March 29. Over $9000 in local scholarships have been awarded to deserving seniors.
To donate to the endowment, please mail your check, written to "Charles Schwab" with "Lamprecht Endowment" in subject line, to Vocal Arts PO Box 4306 SLO CA 93403
