The Silvestri Scholarships
The London Schubert Players Trust and The Silvestri
International Foundation are committed to the development of future generations of
musicians. With the generous collaboration of three independent boarding schools
in Britain, Silvestri Scholarships have been established annually for Romanian
students aged 15 - 17 who are of outstanding musical ability and have a command
of the English language which will enable them to benefit to the full from the
breadth and variety of experiences offered at these schools. Full academic
scholarships are awarded by Pocklington School, Yorkshire (www.pocklingtonschool.com),
Stewart’s Melville College and The Mary Erskine School, Edinburgh (www.esms.edin.sch.uk).
In the words of David Gray, principal of the schools in Edinburgh, "by welcoming
a musical talent from another culture into their community the schools' cultural
horizons will broaden. It is also a small way in which we can contribute to the
development of young people who have the future task of shaping democracy and
prosperity in their own country."
Additional scholarships have been received from Trinity School in Croydon (www.trinity-school.org)
and from Chetham’s School of Music in
Manchester, which is a specialist co-educational independent school at the
forefront of music education in the UK and abroad (www.chethams.com).
The school’s Morgan Brass Quintet led by Huw Morgan - finalist of the BBC
Musician of the Year 2006 – toured Romania in 2004 at the invitation of the
Trust and the Foundation.
