Prize List
2024 saw our second Young Classical Musician Competition, open to Mexican instrumentalists between the ages of 16-25 playing any orchestral instrument, including piano. Our judges selected 15 young players who went forward to the semi-finals in San Miguel in February 2024. They chose three winners and the competitors between them shared prizes of $400,000 pesos in the form of scholarships or instrument purchases to take forward their careers.
Grand Prize winner was outstanding horn player Melanie Martinez for whom we purchased a magnificent new horn for US$10,000 using her prize, which has enabled her to gain a place at a prestigious music school in Brussels, Belgium. The next competition will be in two years time.
All these activities are funded by donations from individuals, including our Patron Members. Your support for these unique programs not only gives the young musicians opportunities which they would not otherwise have, but also makes a tremendous contribution to the well being of our precious community in San Miguel, and to the lives of many Mexican families. You can make either a general donation without specifying how you want it to be used, or tell us the specific program/purpose you want the gift to be applied to.
