Help Us Keep the Music Alive at St. Barnabas
For the past three years, the Choral Scholarship Programme has brought beautiful music to our worship, while supporting and mentoring young musicians. With recent changes to national funding guidelines, this programme now depends on private support to survive.
Former scholars express how much this programme impacted their lives:
The Choral Scholarship programme helped me grow as a musician and as a leader, but more importantly, it gave me a true sense of belonging. The choir became a second family. — Renato Araujo
When I joined the choir, my home country was going through an extremely difficult period, and I was struggling financially. Without this scholarship, I would not have been able to continue singing. The choir gave me hope, belonging, and the strength to keep pursuing my passion for music. — Parand Bolbolabadi
My identity as a queer musician is incredibly important to me, and it is difficult to find a church that not only celebrates my identity, but also encourages me to continue down a loving road of music-making and community. Overall, I would not be the musician, person, and student I am today if it had not been for the Choral Scholarship. — Len Crino
Your gift will help us continue offering scholarships to talented choristers, ensuring that our music — and this life-changing programme — endures.
