The Columbia Choral Society would like to take an opportunity to introduce the Columbia Choral Society Guthrie Darr Young Artist Scholarship for students. This is our inaugural year for this scholarship.
The CCS Guthrie Darr Young Artist Scholarship is available to students who reside in Richland or Lexington Counties who are currently enrolled in high school in grades 10-12 or in an equivalent home-schooled program. The scholarship exists to encourage and support young artists who are interested in studying voice privately. Previous study with a voice teacher is not required but any scholarship awarded must be used for this purpose.
The scholarship will be awarded through a juried competition to be held in Saturday, Februrary 11, 2012. The winner will be offered the opportunity of performing with the CCS as a soloist at our March 16, 2012 concert. The judges will award one or two scholarship of $500.00.
Columbia Choral Society is open to all who enjoy singing and learning about music; if you would like to know more about singing in the Choral Society please click here.
