In the heart of Aiken, the world of music is getting a bright new star! This week, local sophomore Sara Wittenborn has been announced as the recipient of the coveted 2024 APA Arts Scholarship for her exceptional musical talent. With this award, which comes in at a generous value of $1,000, Sara is set to embark on an exciting journey that will further enhance her skills in the performing arts.
Sara, a dedicated saxophonist majoring in music education at USC Aiken, has made quite a name for herself since she stepped onto the college campus. She isn’t just a student but a passionate performer, actively participating in several ensembles. These include the renowned Aiken Concert Band, the lively USCA Jazz Band, the powerful USCA Wind Ensemble, and the spirited USCA Pacer Pulse Pep Band. It’s safe to say that music is not just part of her life; it is her life!
Under the expert guidance of her instructor, Dr. Zachary Bond, Sara is not only honing her skills but also taking on additional responsibilities as a student assistant for her performance ensembles. Her commitment to her craft reflects a deep passion for music and education, and it certainly hasn’t gone unnoticed.
Before she soared into the realm of collegiate music, Sara was already making waves in the local music scene. Her journey began with her involvement in the AAA Home School Band as well as the South Aiken High School Jazz Band and Marching Band. Her talent shone brightly, leading to her selection for prestigious groups such as the All-District Band and the South Carolina All-State Band in 2022. It’s an impressive feat that speaks volumes about her dedication and skill.
Aiken is home to the Aiken Performing Arts (APA), a wonderful organization that has been operating since 2005. The APA plays a vital role in the community, dedicating itself to promoting the performing arts. It is known for presenting live entertainment that captivates audiences and engaging in educational outreach programs that inspire young artists, just like Sara.
One of the ways the APA gives back to the community is through its annual scholarships for students committed to the arts, with financial support extending to local campuses such as Aiken Technical College and USC Aiken. This kind of support not only impacts students’ lives but also uplifts the cultural fabric of the Aiken community, fostering an environment where young talent can thrive.
With the $1,000 scholarship in hand, Sara is ready to take her musical education to the next level.
