I was recently accepted to the Curtis Institute of Music! Located in Philadelphia, PA, Curtis is one of the world's most competitive and prestigious music schools. This is such an honour and I feel incredibly fortunate to be given such an opportunity.

Although I have received a full-tuition scholarship, many costs remain.

-Donations received from this fundraiser will go directly towards these expenses-

My current instrument is over 25 years old and is long overdue for retirement. In professional orchestras, oboes are often replaced every 4-5 years, although some last longer. It has served me well, but I will require a new instrument to take me into my career.

Your support is pivotal in my success at Curtis, and all donations are greatly appreciated. This fundraiser concert/campaign is just one part of a larger search for funding. I have applied for many scholarships and competed for lots of bursaries and awards. All to contribute to my larger goal, sharing music. Music is needed now more than ever. Your support not only fuels my journey but also helps keep the art vibrant and alive.

If you know of any additional funding opportunities or have any questions, don't hesitate to contact me.

Thank you so much for your unwavering support!

Eric Davidson
