Bruce and Darla Murray String Music Scholarship

When Bruce and Darla Murray homesteaded on the Willwood in the 1920s, opportunities to hear live orchestral music in Powell were few and far between. After the Northwest College music program was established, the Murrays’ unflagging support for the Northwest Civic Orchestra and Chorale has helped serenade the valley for many years through community concerts that inspire young artists and touch older hearts alike. Students whose principle instrument is the violin, viola, cello or string bass are eligible to apply for this scholarship.
