Overview
Developing Young Listeners and Performers:
SCHOLARSHIP STUDENTS TICKETS
We solicit SCMS subscribers to donate additional funds through our Scholarship Ticket Program. In 2018, the generosity of these donors allowed us to bring nearly 50 students to our Festivals. Young people with an interest in arts and music were able to attend our chamber music performances, many who wouldn’t have been able to otherwise.
2021 YOUNG ARTIST COMPETITION
We are excited to be continuing our annual Young Artist Awards Competition in partnership with Classical KING FM 98.1! All young classical musicians in Washington State from ages 6 to 20 are encouraged to send in a five-minute video entry for consideration. SCMS will be awarding a special prize: the Monika Meyer Clowes Memorial Award – a cash prize and a chance to be coached by Festival musicians. Plus, the winners in each category get to perform live on the radio! More details will be available closer to when submissions open on February 19, 2021. The deadline for enties is March 22, 2021
2021 judges include SCMS Artistic Director James Ehnes.

CHAMBER MUSIC IN THE CLASSROOM — Free
SCMS provides professional Teaching Artists to middle and high school orchestras in the Seattle Public School system. Our Chamber Music in the Classroom program enables students to learn and perform small ensemble music with individual instruction from some of Seattle’s talented local musicians and music educators. In 2018, our Teaching Artists coached the students of Ballard, Roosevelt, Chief Sealth, and West Seattle High Schools, and Whitman, Hamilton, and Madison Middle Schools.
