Carson Kemp Memorial Fund

Last spring, the San Diego Youth Symphony family lost violinist Carson Kemp. She was a vibrant and social sixteen year-old who shared her beautiful smile with everyone. Carson displayed her musical talents as a member of Symphony Orchestra and the Philharmonia. Carson was also the Concertmaster of the University City High School Orchestra, excelled academically and loved sports. In addition to all of her achievements, Carson will best be remembered for her beauty, grace and her ability to spread joy.

In Carson 's memory, her mother has established the "Carson Kemp Memorial Fund" to provide annual scholarship support to a student in the Youth Symphony who demonstrates Carson 's leadership skills and shares in Carson 's love of music, academics and sports.
