魅影直播 the scholarship

The scholarship is to assist in the education and training of undergraduate classical piano students at the New Zealand School of Music at Te Herenga Waka 鈥 Victoria University of Wellington. This scholarship was established in 2023 through a bequest from David Philps Eade to assist classical pianists studying at the New Zealand School of Music. Recipients must demonstrate exceptional piano performance ability through a recorded audition of four pieces of contrasting mood, tempo and style: any composition of Bach, Scarlatti or Handel; a fast movement from a work by Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven or Schubert; one Romantic composition; and one 20th/21st-century work. One of the four pieces must be a virtuosic etude. Recipients will be expected to perform in a concert honouring the memory of David P Eade and demonstrate engagement within the New Zealand School of Music community through participation in ensembles and masterclasses.
