IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0The Dorothy Farnham Feuer Memorial String Competition was first held in 1964 as a tribute to Dorothy Farnham Feuer, founder of the Fairfax Symphony and a violinist with the orchestra. This string scholarship competition has provided well-deserved recognition, encouragement, and monetary support to outstanding young performers on string instruments. It is open to advanced string players in grades 7-12 in Northern Virginia. Award money must be used to further the musical training of recipients, and is most often spent toward study with noted teachers, tuition for a summer camp, or the purchase of a new instrument. Many winners have continued to pursue music as private teachers and as members of orchestras throughout the nation, including the FSO.
