Through annual auditions in New York the foundation gives a number of $10,000 cash awards to gifted singers in the early stages of professional careers, to be used for any career-related purpose. Winners may also receive role preparation assistance for a period of five years, to help defray expenses incurred in musical, dramatic, vocal, and language coaching for specific professional engagements. The
foundation provides this additional funding to each winner upon submission
of a copy of a future contract to perform an operatic role, an oratorio,
or other symphonic engagement for which the singer has not previously
received foundation assistance. The only stipulation is that the performance
be with full orchestral accompaniment. We cannot support cover contracts.
The number of awards given each year varies according to the resources
of the foundation.
The panel of judges includes distinguished artists and
professionals in the field, such as Betty Allen, Richard Gaddes, Craig
Rutenberg, Charles MacKay, John Moriarty, and George Shirley.
