New Glasgow Music Festival hands out hardware
Lucas March was the winner of the Rose bowl and a prize of $1,500 at the New Glasgow Music Festival’s Stars of the Festival Concert on Sunday. The Rose Bowl, its keeper trophy and scholarship is donated by Harold Renouf. It is awarded to a solo performer, 18 years and under, who is playing at least advanced level repertoire as defined on Page 2, Section A of the Syllabus. The solo competitor will, in the opinion of the adjudicators, show outstanding promise and musical ability, having competed in at least six classes, four of which must be in the same discipline. The Junior Cup along with a $750 scholarship was awarded to Leah McPherson. The award is donated by the Fraser family in memory of their mother. Mary Tait Fraser was a supporter and attender of the New Glasgow Music Festival for over 60 years. Her interest was not in the competitive aspect of the festival but in the opportunity it gave young people to share the joy of music making. It is awarded to a competitor, 16 years and under, who in the opinion of the adjudicators, shows most promise and musical ability, having competed in at least six classes, four of which must be in the same discipline, with repertoire at least at a Junior Level.
