Description

Angela Svendsen grew up in Wenatchee, Washington and earned a Bachelor's degree in String Performance from Central Washington University in June 1998. Upon graduation she moved to Vancouver, Washington and began teaching private violin lessons and playing the violin professionally. Angela felt that music and education enriched her life and gave her many opportunities for happiness and fulfillment that she might not otherwise have had. Angela's passion in life was passing her love of music to her students and the audiences for which she performed. If awarded this scholarship, it is the donor's hope that students would have a chance to further their love of music and life, thereby enriching the world around them. The Angela Svendsen Memorial Scholarship is available to graduating high school seniors from Clark County who plan to pursue a degree in music education or music performance. A significant component of the application is an audio or video recording of a solo work performed by the applicant. Accompaniment is optional. Applicants must upload the recording of their performance to a third-party site (such as YouTube or Vimeo) and paste the link in the application. Applicants may upload one letter of recommendation from a person who can speak to their character, leadership, talents, and academic record. Letters from immediate or extended family members will not be accepted. This letter is not required, but is strongly recommended. Please visit the scholarship's website or contact the Community Foundation for Southwest Washington award's website for more information.
