The London Schubert Players Trust remembers Constantin Silvestri

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.
