The Prince George Conservatory of Music held its annual scholarship competition on April 26 where students performed for an adjudicator, received detailed feedback and competed for monetary prizes to support their continued musical education.
This year's adjudicator was Ken Hall, executive director of the PG Symphony Orchestra, whose thoughtful insights and encouragement were greatly appreciated by all participants.

Special award
The Grace Bosma and Mary Clare Lewis Award was presented to Larkin Imbao (level 6 violin) as the top student in the Advanced category. This special award honours the lasting contributions of Grace Bosma, the conservatory’s founding administrator, and Mary Clare Lewis, a long-serving board member and past president.
“The Scholarship Competition is a way for us to celebrate our students' accomplishments and to honour the incredible individuals who helped shape the Conservatory," said Shoshanna Godber, artistic director at the conservatory.
"It not only supports our students' musical journeys but also strengthens the sense of community that makes our school so special."
The conservatory extends its deepest thanks to all the families, donors and community members whose support makes opportunities like this possible.
