Generous Bequest to Music Department

 

Staff and pupils of Harris Academy gathered at the Queen's Hotel in Dundee last night to receive a £25,000 donation to help fund a school music bursary.  The sizeable donation is the final amount to come from the Nancy Fraser Bequest, a legacy left by a city woman for local charitable purchases.

 

Musicians from the school who performed at the event

Agnes (Nancy) Fraser, a member of Soroptimist International of Dundee for many years, died in January 2006, and her money has been used to aid a number of local groups.  Miss Fraser was a pupil of Harris Academy and returned there to teach in the late 1940s and early 1950s.  She sang in the school choir and had a lifelong interest in music.
