About Mary-Louise Young : Mary-Louise Young grew up in the district of Holmfield, Manitoba. It was here that the young Mary-Louise cultivated her love of music while practicing her lessons on the piano that her Granny Harrison had received on her wedding day in 1902. As an adult, Mary-Louise earned her A.M.M. from the University of Manitoba and degrees in Teachers and Performance from the Royal Conservatory of Music, but she always cherished the memories of those early lessons.
Granny’s piano has played its last song; the treasured instrument has been made as a gift to the Cartwright Museum where it will be silent but admired for generations to come. Granny’s lessons will play on in the gift that Mary-Louise has made to establish the Mary-Louise Young Scholarship in Music at the University of Manitoba. Music speaks many deep thoughts about many subjects.
Where words fail, music speaks. (Hans Christian Andersen)
