The Neumann-Sennheiser Scholarship

for the

BGSU New York Voices vocal jazz camp


For decades, Neumann has been regarded worldwide as the standard-setting, leading manufacturer of studio microphones.  The name Sennheiser has been synonymous with top-quality products and tailor-made solutions for every aspect of the recording, transmission and reproduction of sound for more than 60 years. New York Voices is celebrating 22-years of music making in vocal jazz.  These two standards of excellence come together in the Neumann & Sennheiser Scholarship for the BGSU New York Voices vocal jazz camp.  This scholarship will pay for one [1] full tuition, awarded to the winning vocalist. 

Paul Bevan   Brian Farina

 

The "NYV Sound-Guy-Scholarship

 

 

 

 

For many years now the "fifth member" of New York Voices has in most cases been one of the two gentlemen above:  Paul Bevan and Bryan Farina.  These fine gentlemen have decided to award one [1] full tuition to a participant of the 2010 BGSU New York Voices vocal jazz camp. 

 

Our thanks go also to the organizers of the Java Jazz Festival -  The "JAVA JAZZ SCHOLARSHIP" will be awarded to a vocalist from the home of the JAVA JAZZ Festival!

 

The Pittsburgh Jazz Society has also pledged their support with a full Scholarship  for a vocalist from the greater Pittsburgh area.

 

Additional scholarship funds are made available by:  

Bowling Green State University, the New York Voices, Toledo School for the Arts,  Anthony Wayne Choirs  and a number of other additional and anonymous donors. 

 All scholarships will be awarded in one of four categories:
-
     
High School level students
