Marin Music Chest

Marin Music Chest Marin Music Chest Marin Music Chest also presents two annual concert performances in May featuring Marin Music scholarship winners.

The mission of the Marin Music Chest is to provide financial support to talented, promising, young Marin County students of classical music and, when possible, to assist other non-profit organizations with similar goals. Founded in 1933, the Marin Music Chest is a private, non-profit organization, staffed by a volunteer Board of Directors with an extensive musical background as well as an Artistic

Council who have backgrounds in music as a profession. The Artistic Council plays a key role in the scholarship awards process. Both groups are dedicated to supporting the Mission of the Music Chest and to help foster a greater interest, appreciation and support of classical music and young musicians in Marin County.

Congratulations to one of our 2026 Young Artists - Xei Sackett! Xei plays piano, and his favorite composer is Chopin because his music is expressive and emotional, but also technical in a way that brings out all the colors of the piano. He is a four-time scholarship recipient with us, and a three-time MTAC Alameda Memorial Scholarship recipient. Xei has also been awarded the 2026 Royal Conservatory of Music Reginal Gold Medal (Western Region), which goes to a single student with the highest performance score across the region. He has also been selected to perform at the Junior Bach Festival in 2026, for his fourth year.

Congratulations to one of our 2026 Young Artists – Arya Dev! Arya has been playing the violin for 11 years, beginning lessons at the age of five. He is a three-time scholarship winner with is. His favorite composer is Brahms, because “he treats the soloist atypically in his violin concert as a peer in an argument, not a soloist on a pedestal.” Arya plans to “never put down my instrument in any stage of life. Regardless of profession, I want to be involved in solo and chamber/orchestra ensemble for as long as I am able to use my hands.”
