Introducing the 2026 class of Tosco Music Scholarship winners! Charlotte is rich with musical talent and opportunities to pursue passions in music, and we’re proud to nurture local talent! We were delighted to introduce so many of this year's scholars in person at Love Notes on February 7 at Booth Playhouse.

Special thanks to all of the sponsors and donors who make these scholarships possible, including Lane Jacobs and Tamara Titus whose Jacob Titus Youth Music Scholarship Fund has empowered 42 scholars, including 7 this year, since it was established in 2019 to honor the memory of their nephew, guitarist Jacob Everett Titus.

Congratulations to everyone!
