Former Raptors head coach Nick Nurse is offering dozens of local kids an opportunity to build up on their music skills.
Thanks to a donation of $40,000 from Nurse to York University’s music department, at least 50 high school students will be able to take part in an intensive series of workshops over the course of a week. Training sessions will be offered by guest Juno-winning artists and faculty members from the university’s School of the Arts, Media, Performance and Design (AMPD).
The university says a portion of the funds will offer participation bursaries specifically to students from Black and Indigenous communities, as well as young women and other people of colour.
