Isolde Schaupp Memorial Prize

The Isolde Schaupp Memorial Prize is an annual competition-based prize recognizing outstanding performance in percussion at the University of Queensland School of Music. Founded in 2013 by family, friends and colleagues of the late Ms Isolde Schaupp in her honour, this prize celebrates excellence in percussion performance. Ms Schaupp taught classical guitar at the School of Music between 1986 and 2013. The prize is awarded to the student with the most outstanding performance in percussion at the annual competition. Eligible applicants must be enrolled in the Bachelor of Music, Bachelor of Music (Honours), or a dual program that includes these degrees, and must be available to perform at the annual competition. The scholarship provides a monetary award equal to the annual income from the fund for a duration of one year. Applicants are required to submit an online application form with their personal details and information about the works they propose to perform. Eligible applicants will then be invited to perform at the competition, where the winner will be selected based on the quality of their performance. One award is made annually to recognize creative excellence in percussion performance.
