Christine Z. Muller Scholarship Competition
Each year, Summit Chorale is pleased to sponsor a one-time, $500.00 scholarship to support the study of music at the college level in the memory of long-time member Christine Z. Muller. In addition, the winner will perform a solo at the May 15th, 2010 Summit Chorale concert. To qualify, a candidate must be:
- A graduating northern or central New Jersey high school senior this spring
- Consistently active in the high school's choral music program
- An applicant as a music major in an accredited college or university for the coming academic year. If acceptance notification has been received and a commitment to attend has been made, that is a plus.
The scholarship application must include:
- The completed application form (see below).
- A letter of recommendation from either the choral director or private voice teacher. Additional recommendations are also welcome.
- MP3 files (or a CD) of no more than 10 minutes duration, clearly marked with the applicant's name, school, and selections included. Sing two contrasting art songs or operatic arias. (No pop, rock, or Broadway songs will be acceptable.) These will generally be accompanied. No application will be considered without a quality recording. If the candidate would like to have his/her recording returned, a self-addressed, postage paid envelope must be included with the application.
Applicants should email completed packages no later than February 15th, 2010 to:
scholarships@summitchorale.org
