Empowering the Arts: CVAC launches 2 new funds

The restricted fund supports the Thousand Islands International Piano Competition for Young People. Founded by Dr. Grant in 2004 with CVAC, the competition invites talented young pianists worldwide to Cape Vincent. It features three rounds of performances, focusing on works by composers like Chopin and J. S. Bach. This year marks the 22nd event, scheduled for September 5-7 at Maple Grove Estate, Cape Vincent.
