Tenor Scholarships

Tenor Scholarships are on hold until further notice.

In 2017 St Mary’s Singers started to offer two annual choral scholarships for tenor voices.

These two tenor scholarships are intended to provide encouragement and assist with music tuition for up and coming young singers, and to support and enhance the program of liturgical music provided by the St Mary’s Singers at St Mary’s Cathedral.

The scholarships are

      • The Gary Ashton-Jones Memorial Tenor Scholarship (OVER 18 to 25)
      • The Brian Muir Memorial Tenor Scholarship (OVER 18 to 35)

Each is worth $2500 per year.
