The Muskoka Men of Song have chosen this year’s recipients of its music education bursary.
This year, the bursary is $3,150, compared to last year’s $7,500, because the COVID-19 pandemic has hampered the group’s ability to fundraise through concerts. According to chairman of the group’s bursary committee Ken Veitch, the money is split between each of the recipients based on a number of factors, such as financial need and how likely they are to pursue a career in music. This year’s recipients are:
Simon Johnson of Bracebridge, age 15, who plays violin.
Bridget Johnson of Bracebridge, age 17, violin.
