A prestigious music school in Borough has launched a new scholarship that will cover all the fees for the winner’s course.
London College of Creative Media (LCCM), based on Union Street, is holding an audition day on September 25 at its Music Box venue for anyone who would like to apply for the scholarship. The school runs courses in production, performance and music business at undergraduate and postgraduate level.
People applying for the audition will get the chance to show off their talent, ideas or passion projects to the panel of judges. Three finalists will then go to the grand final in the second week of term, overseen by a panel of music industry professionals and experts.
“We’re really excited to welcome talented individuals to the Music Box to impress us with their skills and musicianship,” said Pat Cotton, programme leader for undergraduate music. “Making a scholarship available on merit is such a fantastic opportunity and will really help the college support the development of more young musicians.”
The scholarship day will be an ‘open-door’ style afternoon, with tours of the building, a welcome talk from principal Anthony Hamer-Hodges, student performances and careers advice.
“We’re really thankful to senior leadership and the LCCM board for backing our vision and drive to get more talented young people to the Music Box and ultimately, to make them into true LCCMers,” said Evie Asio-Okwalinga, youth music officer at LCCM. “It marks a real line in the sand and proves our mission to create an achievable pathway to sustained career success, and it will be a real hit with our Youth Music network.”
