The International Horn Society reserves the right to cancel competitions or withhold one or more awards if, in the opinion of the judges, conditions warrant such action.
Contests
The purpose of this competition is to nurture and develop the great horn soloists of the future. This contest is supported by interest from the Philip Farkas and Vincent DeRosa scholarship funds. All finalists are expected to pay for travel to the Symposium and register as a participant.
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.
Scholarships
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.
Jon Hawkins was a Life Member of the IHS, just starting his career as a professional musician when he met his death in a traffic accident. His parents, Neil and Runa Hawkins, established this scholarship as a memorial to their son. A biography of Jon Hawkins appears on page 108 in the October 1992 issue of The Horn Call.
The purpose of this scholarship is to encourage the attendance of deserving, highly motivated horn students at the annual IHS symposiums, where they can be intensely exposed to state-of-the-art levels of performance, pedagogy, equipment, and resources.
This award, named for the longtime Editor of The Horn Call, Emeritus Dean of the Southeastern Oklahoma State University Department of Music, 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.
