Appassionata is proud to announce the creation of the Damien-Silès Scholarship Following the donation of a violin by the music-lover and good friend of Appassionata, Damien Silès, the orchestra announces the creation of a new scholarship in his name which will be awarded to a deserving young student in music at the CEGEP level. Awarded by competition, the scholarship is comprised of the loan of the instrument for one year, the possibility of taking lessons with Appassionata musicians, and an invitation to attend orchestra rehearsals and concerts. We invite you to support this new initiative by making a donation on this page. Details and  subscription Thank you to all of our donors! Make a donation
