Bursaries
| TSO has always encouraged young people to make music and
frequently has young players performing in concerts as members of the
orchestra. Recently a bursary scheme has been introduced. To qualify,
you have to be a competent musician, play with the orchestra during your
last years at school, and be intending to continue your music studies at
College or University. The first recipient of the TSO bursary is violinist George Smith. George played with TSO for more than two years, and is now pursuing his music career at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama in Glasgow. George was presented with his bursary cheque at the end of the concert in the Reid Hall, Forfar, on 11th February 2006, by Mary, Countess of Strathmore, the orchestra's Honorary President.
