Lyle Moore Scholarship Class
CLASS 00400 | Scholarship of $1,000 to continue advanced studies in music
The St. Albert Rotary Music Festival is proud to offer the Lyle Moore Scholarship Class, a $1,000 scholarship dedicated to advancing studies in music. The scholarship is open to all students without any specific residence requirements for either students or teachers.
To be eligible, candidates must be Advanced Level Music Students aged between 16 to 28, and either entering or currently studying at a post-secondary institution or an equivalent level of instruction. The selection process allows for a variety of musical talents, as candidates can perform selections on any solo instrument or with their voice, including concerti. However, there is a limitation of a maximum of five selections within a total performance time of 20 minutes.
A selection of a concert program displaying a balance of musical styles will be considered by the adjudicators. It's important to note that selections chosen for this scholarship must be distinct from those registered for other local Festival classes. Additionally, only a maximum of five candidates will be selected to perform. In the event that more than five candidates register, the Music Festival Committee will choose the final five recipients. Don't miss out on this incredible opportunity to advance your musical journey and receive support for your passion.
The entry fee for the Lyle Moore Scholarship Class is $60.
