BRUNSWICK – Bowdoin International Music Festival is seeking talented student musicians from Maine to apply to the 2006 festival’s music school. The program will run in two three-week sessions from June 24 to Aug. 5 and is open to students age 13 and up.

Eligible instruments are strings, piano, guitar, harp, woodwinds (bassoon, clarinet, flute, horn, oboe) and composition.

The festival has received funding to provide full- and partial-tuition scholarships to several qualified Maine students for three or six weeks.

Funding comes from grants from the Sam L. Cohen and Simmons foundations and from the John M. Dunlap Jr. scholarship fund, a permanently endowed scholarship fund established in 2004.

Students of classical music from around the world assemble at Bowdoin College each summer for private lessons and chamber music coaching with musicians from the world’s most prestigious conservatories, chamber groups and orchestras.

For application forms and more information, visit www.bowdoinfestival.org or call 373-1400. The application deadline is Jan. 31.
