The Konrad Hopkins Memorial Korngold Fund

Nov. 02, 2010

The late Konrad Hopkins, co-founder of the International Korngold Society, died in May, 2010 and one of his dearest wishes was for the establishment of a permanent Korngold Scholarship to benefit young musicians and students of musicology, who wished to either study the works of Erich Wolfgang Korngold or who sought assistance with their performance studies of his music.

To this end, the executors of his estate have now established The Konrad Hopkins Memorial Korngold Fund in his memory, funds from which will be used to award this scholarship prize on a regular basis. In due course, an appropriate academic institution will be sought as partner for this initiative and matched funding from either a state body or other relevant organization will eventually provide a substantial fund, enabling the scholarship to be awarded on at least a bi-annual basis.

A small scholarship Committee, chaired by the President of the International Korngold Society, Brendan G. Carroll, will be established to consider applications for the scholarship and make the awards.
