2016 Award Recipients
Two Carson City Students Awarded
Rosemary Nebesky Memorial Scholarships
Media Release - January 14, 2017: Carlos Montejana and Alyssa Butler were awarded the
first annual Rosemary Nebesky Memorial Scholarships by the Carson City Symphony
Association last month. This scholarship was established by John and Jennifer Webley
of Santa Rosa, Calif., in memory Rosemary Nebesky, who loved music, loved children,
and had been a friend and board member of the Carson City Symphony Association. It is
awarded each year to one or two Carson City students age 5 to 17 for instrumental music lessons.
Carlos Montejana, 16, is a junior at Carson High School. He sings in the Carson High
School Chamber Choir, loves classical music, and composes and arranges music for orchestra,
band, and choir. His music composition "Skyworld," took first place in the state in
the Parent-Teacher Student Association Reflections Art Contest last year, and he was
recognized in that contest with a special award for overall Outstanding Interpretation
of Theme. The Nebesky scholarship will fund piano lessons with Nancy Mielke, a retired
music specialist in the Carson City School District.
Alyssa Butler, 10, is in fifth grade at St. Teresa of Avila School in Carson City.
She has studied violin for four years and wants to learn to play cello. Her mother,
Colleen Butler, said "Alyssa has always been mesmerized by the cello and has counted
down the days until she was old enough or big enough to graduate from the violin to the
cello." The Nebesky scholarship will fund cello lessons with Lou Groffman, principal
cellist of the Carson City Symphony.
Honorable mention certificates were awarded to Ashlyn Parnham, 13, an 8th grader at
Eagle Valley Middle school, who plays clarinet; Kacey Lopes, 17, a senior at Carson
High School, who plays violin and drums; and Sierra Kramer,16, a homeschooled student
who plays violin.
Scholarships are generally awarded in fall of each. For more information
about the scholarship and the application process, contact the Symphony at 775-883-4154.
