Celebrate the music and memories of Brevard Music Center as we mark our 90th anniversary! In the past ten years, Prelude has raised more than $2.6 million to support our Annual Student Scholarship Fund. Each year, we award nearly $2 million in merit and need-based support to more than 600 students who attend our Institute and Festival so they can benefit from the “Brevard experience.” The success of Prelude makes this possible!
