Shoshana Foundation

Shoshana Foundation

The Shoshana Foundation is a non-profit organization that was founded in 1986 upon the death of Richard F. Gold who was a long time administrator at both the New York City Opera and Chamber Opera Theater of New York. The foundation seeks to assist the careers of emerging talent within the American operatic community. In order to achieve this end, the Shoshana Foundation annually awards The Richard F. Gold Career Grant to young singers through music schools and opera apprenticeship programs. [ [http://www.music.indiana.edu/apps/scholarship/index.php?id=118 Directory of Endowments & Scholarships: Office of Development: School of Music: Indiana University ] ] The Foundation does not accept applications or requests for auditions and all recipients are selected by their respective schools or programs. Music schools currently involved in the scholarship program include: Indiana University, the Juilliard Opera Center, the Manhattan School of Music, and the Mannes College of Music among others. Opera apprenticeship programs include the Lyric Opera of Chicago, Houston Grand Opera, San Francisco Opera, New York City Opera, Glimmerglass Opera, and the Wolf Trap Opera Company among many others. Winners of the grant are eligible for supplimentary funds in pursuing projects within the operatic field and are supported in giving a concert of a charitable nature during the following year. Winners are also asked to keep the Shoshana Foundation informed of their career development and to mention the award within both their biographies and interviews.http://www.shoshanafoundation.org/423.html]
