At its inception in 1992, Balmain Sinfonia established the Richard
Goldner Scholarship Fund into which it deposits 10% of all ticket
sales.The purpose of the Fund is to provide financial assistance to
talented young musicians. For twenty years (1993-2011) the selection was
achieved by means of a biennial Concerto Competition. The Concerto
Competition format has now been suspended and a variety of other methods
will be established for the disbursement of the funds to worthy young
players.
