The James Foundation, The Maramec Spring Park staff, and the Folky Fish Fest team are pleased to announce the 2024 recipients of the Adam Yount-John Hotze Memorial Music Education Awards.
This award was established to support local music education students in Phelps and Crawford County and is being funded by donations and revenues from the Folky Fish Festival.
We have three recipients for this first round of awards:
Keira Frazier will be attending Steelville High School as a sophomore next semester. Kiera is a singer in the choir, plays piano and trombone, and has competed in multiple music competitions over the last year. Keira is considering a major in music for her career path. Keira is using her $500 award to help pay for summer band camp at the University of Central Missouri. Congratulations, Kiera!
Landon Adams also attends Steelville High School and plays trumpet in band. Landon is also learning to play guitar and has begun working with a mentor to learn the Lutherie skills for guitar construction. Landon plans to use his $500 award to purchase the materials and tools needed for his luthier work. Congratulations, Landon!
Dalton Betts is from Phelps County and will be a sophomore in high school next semester. Dalton plays piano and guitar in school band and at his church. Dalton would like to pursue a music-based ministry in the future. Dalton plans to use his $500 award to take guitar lessons and strengthen his formal music education with an instructor.
