Greater Connecticut Youth Orchestras is proud to announce the Inna Berson Wetmore Excellence in Teaching Award.
This award will be given annually to a teacher who demonstrates a commitment to the highest standards of music education, inspires young musicians, and makes meaningful and lasting connections to their students and our community through their teaching.
The inaugural award will go to Bernice Friedson, recognizing a lifetime of exceptional teaching by a teacher who has touched the lives of countless students and made an indelible mark on the music community in Connecticut. The award is named for Inna Berson Wetmore, who was a piano teacher in Fairfield for over 30 years.
