Young Musician’s Award

Each year, OICMF recognizes the importance of music in our lives, from youth through maturity. Named for a founding Board member’s work on behalf of music in our island schools, the Marilyn Anderson Young Musician’s Award honors a graduating high school senior who has demonstrated this value.
