The American Music Research Center and members of the Lynn family invite CU student musicians, both graduates and undergraduates, who are planning to perform or undertake research related to George Lynn’s music, to apply for the annual George Lynn Award. Applications are due Friday, May 3, 2024.
This award comes with a $2000 prize and supports work that takes place from June 2024 - April 2025. After completion of the project the award winner is expected to submit a short report summarizing the work and research accomplished.
Activities eligible to receive this award include:
Public performances or recitals of Lynn’s extensive catalogue of vocal, instrumental chamber, choral, or orchestral music.
Recording projects of all kinds related to the above in the coming year.
Research or prospective publications that use primary sources related to Lynn’s career as a conductor, teacher and composer [such as personal family scrapbooks].
