  The Hans Schmelzer Music Award will provide grants to local schools, college, or non-profit organization music programs, to promote the study of mid-European folk, classical, and popular music. The award was established to honor Mr. Hans Schmelzer, the founder of the German-American Brass Band of Southern California. Donations to help fund the award are being accepted and are tax deductible. Donation Forms are available on-line. Make sure to mark "Schmelzer Award" on your Donation Form in order to designate it specifically for the grant fund.
