The School of Music is pleased to announce the 2010 recipient of the Friends of Music Travelling Scholarship is violinist and violist Dora Maria.

Dora, 27, from West Perth graduated from the School of Music in 2009.   The funds from the Scholarship will assist Dora with her studies at the Royal College of Music in London where she is currently undertaking the Masters Performance program.

Dora was recently selected as one of only twelve students from the College to participate in the Castleton Festival in Washington DC with Lorin Maazel, one of the world's most esteemed and sought-after conductors.   In 2010 she will also be travelling to, and performing in, Canada and Beijing.

Dora has an exciting career ahead of her.  The School of Music looks forward to welcoming her back to Perth in 2012 with a performance opening in its concert series.
