Scholarship Winners' Comments About GLB

Annelle Gregory, Classical Violinist
2012 First Place Winner
will perform on the October 19, 2012 Concert at Wilshire United Methodist Church.

Annelle will appear October 19th in concert with the ICYOLA and Darryl Taylor.

I’m  overwhelmed by the support and kindness of the Georgia Laster Branch of NANM.  Because of NANM’s generous scholarship fund, I am able to attend an international music festival in Germany this summer where I will be a soloist and concertmaster of the festival orchestra.  I’m so proud and honored to be associated with GLB NANM!                                                          Annelle Gregory 

Please visit Annelle's website to learn more about this talented musician.

Jordan Daniels, Pianist
GLB's First Place Winner 2011

The NANM Georgia Laster Organization has helped me tremendously in my endeavors as a musician.  It has given me the confidence to share my talents with the community and has let me know that there is still hope out there for the arts.  The aid that I received from NANM is much appreciated, and cannot be taken for granted, as some young musicians are dis= couraged from having a career in music, due to the lack of funds and support.   Thank you so much for all the support and guidance you have given me.
