Scholarship Recipients to Perform at OCC Piano Recital

Orange Coast College Piano Scholarship Winners will perform Wednesday, April 25 at 7:30 pm in the OCC Recital Hall. The concert features classical masterworks, performed in an intimate setting on the College’s beautiful Steinway Concert Grand Piano.

Scholarships are awarded each fall and spring to outstanding pianists in the OCC Piano Program; piano scholarship recipients receive full tuition for weekly private piano instruction with the College’s distinguished piano faculty.

Several students who received scholarships in the past have successfully transferred to four-year programs, including Cal State Fullerton, Cal State Long Beach, University of Southern California, University of San Francisco, UC Berkeley, and the Berklee School of Music in Boston.

“We have students from around the world auditioning for scholarships each semester,” says Dr. Brian Gould, director of OCC's Piano Program. “The scholarship students performing in concert this week are from many different countries and backgrounds — what brings them all together is their love of music, and their joy in making music at the piano.”

Tickets for the Piano Scholarship Winners Recital may be purchased for $10 at www.occtickets.com or at the door the evening of the concert. Light refreshments will be served after the performance, with an opportunity to meet piano scholarship students and faculty.
