Since 1946, the Musical Merit Foundation of Greater San Diego has held a yearly competition for instrumentalists and vocalists.
Competition winners (protégés) have demonstrated extraordinary education, prodigious talent and skill.
Many of our protégés are currently studying in prestigious universities and conservatories, or performing professionally in
symphonies and opera companies throughout the world.
Our 1st Protégé for April is violinist
Frank Almond.
​
Frank is a 3-time award winner in our annual auditions.
​
He had a very unusual experience with his Stradivarius violin which made international headlines!
​
Check out his website to hear recordings and get more information on his career.
