Dear John Harrison
I
am asking for your assistance in filling openings for violin
in the Symphony Orchestra of the Pacific. Scholarship assistance
is available for applications received by May 1st, 2008.
If
you can recommend one or more of your students that are advanced enough
to fill this position - please e-mail me their name, telephone or
e-mail address or have them contact me directly. Although this is a
last minute request, it may be an opportunity for one of your students
to take advantage of this exciting Orchestral Academy because of your
recommendation.
A
description of the program is below with links to the SOAP website.
I
hope you will be able to help us, and perhaps one of your students.
Many thanks in advance.
Yours sincerely,
