MBC Scholars 2023

We are delighted to announce the following singers have been offered Melbourne Bach Choir choral scholarships for 2023:

Tilly Dalton, soprano,
YuTien (Denny) Lin, tenor,
Hamish Madden, alto,
Anna Marsh, soprano,
Saskia Mascitti, alto,
Anushka Tiwari, alto,
Jessica Zuk, soprano.

Hamish, Denny and Jessica have also been granted conducting scholarships, and Sam Daffy has been offered a place as a conducting student. They will all undertake a number of workshops conducted by Rick Prakhoff, along with other valuable ‘hands-on’ experience working with both choirs throughout the year.

We congratulate all our young scholars and look forward to working with them throughout the year.

A huge thank you also to all those who have donated to the 2023 scholarship programme, and most especially to Rick for his “FebFast” fundraising ordeal.
