UCI students who are passionate about music, even if they aren’t music majors, can now apply for scholarships, thanks to a $100,000 pledge from The Drake Gives, a charitable organization founded by commercial developer and restaurateur Alec Glasser. Glasser, who owns The Drake Restaurant in Laguna Beach, learned to play saxophone, clarinet and flute in public schools in New York, where he grew up. He believes everyone should have a chance to study and enjoy music, even if they don’t become musicians. “We believe that music is a fundamental part of the soul and it can be applied in many different contexts,” he says.
