TMMC Announces the 2027 Classical Musical Scholarship: Rules and Application

Thursday Morning Music Club's Annual Classical Music Scholarship Competition 
(a National Federation of Music Club since 1925)

Saturday, Jan. 23, 2027
Beckwith Hall in UNCW Cultural Arts Building

11-12 grade students living in and attending school in
North Carolina’s New Hanover Co, Brunswick Co, or Pender Co.
are eligible.

Scholarship Grand Prize: $1,500
Three Honorable Mention awards are also possible: $750 each

All music must be memorized. 
12 minute time allotment for 1 or more classical pieces.
There are no registration or application fees for this competition, however:
you must provide your own accompanist if the piece requires it;
please contact us by Friday, December 11, 2026 if you need us to help you find one.

 All prize winners must be available Thursday, May 13, 2027 at noon
to perform winning selections and to accept Scholarship Prizes.

This year the Thursday Morning Music Club is cooperating with the Wilmington Symphony Orchestra
to coordinate our Scholarship Competition with the WSO Concerto Competition
so that students who wish to compete for both can perform a single piece one time for both panels of judges.
WSO is managing the registration process, and students may apply for either or both competitions.  

Register Your Intent to Participate by Saturday, October 31, 2026
This is the same day as the WSO competition deadline which will be easier for the symphony office to coordinate.
Clicking this link will transfer you to the registration process within the WSO website.

If you have questions or need additional information or help registering,
