Rosemary and John Hopkins Award

This scholarship supports conductors who are current or former students at the Faculty of Fine Arts and Music in helping with a youth or community music project. The successful project, ideally to be completed within 12 months from receiving the Award, should be creatively conceived and may be undertaken in partnership with other youth or community organisation(s) such as orchestra, ensemble, choir or school. It is intended that recipients of the Award would gain high level practical experience, develop a commitment to and a greater understanding of community and youth music projects and their possibilities to improve society and disadvantaged communities. These attributes very much reflect the vision and values of John Hopkins, so it is a very fitting memory of his life and achievements.
