Each year the IHS sponsors scholarship programs designed to encourage and support students of varying levels, abilities, and experience to attend and participate in horn workshops and symposiums. Eligibility requirements, application procedures, and links to each application form can be found on each program's detail page linked below.

Dorothy Frizelle Mock Audition Contest

Dorothy Frizelle was a member of the IHS whose biography appears on page 124 of the April 1989 issue of The Horn Call. The Dorothy Frizelle Memorial Fund was established in her memory to support the study of orchestral horn playing at IHS workshops.

IHS Solo Contest

The purpose of this program is to encourage attendance of deserving horn students at the annual IHS international symposium, where they can be exposed to state-of-the-art levels of performance, pedagogy, equipment, and resources. This contest is supported by interest from the Jon Hawkins Memorial Fund, the Philip Farkas Fund, the Vince DeRosa Fund and by generous annual donations from Runa Hawkins.

Barry Tuckwell Scholarship

The Barry Tuckwell Scholarship is designed to encourage and support worthy horn students to pursue education and performance by attending and participating in masterclasses and workshops throughout the world. This scholarship is funded from the Barry Tuckwell Scholarship Fund, established in 1997 to honor the IHS Founding President and his contributions as performer, conductor, teacher, and author.

Paul Mansur Scholarship

This award, named for the longtime Editor of The Horn Call, Emeritus Dean, and IHS Honorary Member Paul Mansur, provides opportunities for full-time students attending the IHS international symposium to receive a lesson from a world renowned artist or teacher. These awards are supported by the interest from the Paul Mansur Scholarship Fund.

 

 

Masterclasses

We will offer masterclass performance opportunties to individuals in three categories; High School, University, and Amateur. We will also offer a group masterclass, to be given by The Cleveland Orchestra Horn Section, for a pre-existing University Horn section on the individual roles within a professional Horn section.
