On July 26, 2023 about 60 guests gathered at the grand home and garden of Nona Heaslip for an evening in support of Minstrel Foundation Scholarships. Guests were entertained by Vivid Ma, a multiple Minstrel scholarship winner over the past 5 years. Vivid graduated from the University of Toronto in 2022 and is currently entering second year of her MA program, studying piano performance at the Butler School of Music at the University of Texas under the tutelage of Anton Nel. The evening was a huge success and ensured the planned funding of scholarships for advanced studies over the next year.
