The Richard Pollett Memorial Award has been established by Richard’s family and close friends in association with the Australian Youth Orchestra to honour his memory.
Awards are made annually to provide support and encouragement to young violinists who display outstanding personal and musical attributes.
Richard Pollett will long be remembered as a musician of extraordinary depth. Richard touched many through his playing and his personality, and was an inspiration to all who knew and heard him.
We invite you to support exceptional violinists by donating to the Richard Pollett Memorial Fund. You can donate online, by calling (03) 9356 1405 or by emailing development@ayo.com.au.
