Laufey awards grant to Cleveland youth orchestra

The Cleveland Orchestra Youth Orchestra has received a grant from Grammy-winning artist Laufey as part of the launch of The Laufey Foundation, which supports music education, particularly for youth orchestras.

“The support and scholarships I received as a child have directly led to the career I have now. It’s been a lifelong dream of mine to provide the next generation with the same support and opportunities. I can’t wait to connect with the young musician community,” the musician, 26, said in a press release.
