For those who would like to make a contribution, we would be honored by donations to the Laurie Frink Career Grant in Daniel's name.

 

Daniel studied with Laurie and referred to her as his "trumpet mother.” She was a gifted teacher and musician, and dedicated her life to teaching brass players.

 

The mission of the Laurie Frink Career Grant is to offer to a young brass player an opportunity for serious study or to undertake a creative project. Watching some of her students struggle with the financial burden was heartbreaking to Laurie. Whenever possible, she would put them on her own personal scholarship - free lessons. The goal is to be a grant of $10,000 awarded to an extraordinarily talented player every two years: a grant that would be life changing.
