"ICYOLA Receives Grant From
Andrew Mellon Foundation
The Georgia Laster Branch –
NANM, Inc. members extend their
congratulations to Founder/
Executive Director/Conductor
Charles Dickerson on having
received on May 29, 2016, a
$77,000.00 grant from the Andrew
Mellon Foundation for the period
June 1, 2016 thru May 31, 2017. A
portion of this grant is specifically
earmarked for ICYOLA to focus on
the design of a Fellowship Program
to train young musicians of
underrepresented communities for
careers in American orchestras. It is
projected that this program will be
up and in operation beginning in the
fall of 2017. Upon completion of
designing this program, the plan is to
administer it jointly with the Los
Angeles Chamber Orchestra
(LACO). This is a prime example of
how true grit and determination
results in benefits not only to
ICYOLA but also to the
communities it serves."
Congratulation to Maestro Dickerson, board, musicians, and supporters.
