A musician who wants to make classical music more accessible to more diverse performers and audiences has been named this year the recipient of a college scholarship founded in honor of slain Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl.
Joseph Weinberg, who graduated from Pittsfield High School in Massachusetts last weekend, plans to use the $2,000 Daniel Pearl Berkshire scholarship to major in music with a focus on double bass performance at the Juilliard School from New York.
