KAMLOOPS — The Kamloops Symphony Music School is showcasing several of their senior students in a virtual recital in support of the Peter Collins Memorial Fund.
Funds raised goes towards money for a bursary to help struggling youth take music lessons, and an annual scholarship for a student from the Thompson Nicola Regional District who is studying music in university.
Peter Collins started singing at a very young age and turned his love of music into a new career, becoming a music teacher and voice coach in 2008. Collins was an instructor at the Kamloops Symphony Music School, as well as a talented tenor who sang with the Canadian Opera Company in Ontario. He lost his battle with cancer in 2015 at 41 years old.
Whenever Peter encountered a student who struggled to make lessons happen financially, he would do whatever he could to help them out.
