THE OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE SCHOLARSHIP is awarded to a harpist (age 14 – 19 as of July 1st), who excels in all facets of a polished performance: tone, technique, expression and poise. The level of difficulty of the repertoire may also be a factor in choosing this recipient. This scholarship is sponsored by founding director Kimberly Snaufer DeRosa and will cover the tuition amount. Applicants must submit a Scholarship application and a video recording with three pieces. Audio recordings will not be accepted. A single movement of a larger work will qualify as one selection. If no applicants meet a standard performance level, the scholarship will not be awarded. This scholarship does NOT require an essay or a teacher’s recommendation form.
