The 2022 Conservatory scholarships were presented at events in Muttart Hall at Alberta College Campus on April 12 and 13.

During the events, the students performed in a recital and received their awards in front of an audience of family and friends.

"Performing for an audience, large or small, helps musicians develop important skills needed to grow as an artist, says the Conservatory's Faye Stollery. "Thank you, and congratulations to all the students who participated in this year’s competition. We are grateful for the parents, instructors and accompanists who supported the participants in their performances."
