Donovan Bown on SOPA | Access, Auditions, and Opening the Door

“SOPA connected me to so many musicians, mentors, and programs I didn’t even know existed.”

Oboist Donovan Bown shares how SOPA gave him access to an entire ecosystem of opportunities—from fellowships to funding support—and how that exposure helped shape his path in classical music.

For Donovan, SOPA isn’t just about auditions. It’s about opening doors that have historically been closed and building a future where more musicians have the access they need to thrive.
