BINGHAMTON – Internationally acclaimed concert pianist Justin Kolb has  partnered with the Community Foundation for South Central New York to establish the Justin Kolb Music  Scholarship Fund, supporting high school seniors accepted as undergraduate music majors at accredited  schools of music. 

“This scholarship will serve as a note of appreciation to Catskill/Hudson Valley parents, patrons, and  students for supporting my efforts to acknowledge the merit and value of performing and fine art as the  cultural DNA in everyone,” said Kolb. 

Once fully funded, the scholarship will be available to students across more than 25 schools in Delaware  County and the surrounding region.

Kolb’s international career has taken him from Budapest to Santa Barbara. In addition to performing, he  has presented master classes and motivational clinics to hundreds of students, from pre-k through  university level, and founded musical festivals and camps. This piano virtuoso also continues to perform  for seniors, and underserved students on a pro bono basis.
