We had a historic number of students receive full-scholarships to the Berklee Aspire Five-Week Summer Music Performance Intensive. 15 students received the full-scholarship, valued at $5,400 and is made possible by the Berklee Encore Gala and, this year, one donor who contributed a gift specific only for BAA student(s). Students were selected from among a committee of college professors dedicated to the Aspire program. Those students were Marcia Bibbins, William Brown, Ezekiel Freeman-Fanfan, Messiah Grace, Cha’Ya Grant, Jasper Grant, Kamari Lindsey, Chiara Lo Stimolo, Harry Mcintyre, Kiran Mehta, Emanuel Monteiro, Isabella Pavei, Reggie Reed, Philip Rosa, Eliel Teruel.
