The Community Foundation for Southern Arizona is now accepting applications for the 2024 Igor Gorin Memorial Award!
Since 1993, the Igor Gorin Memorial Award has awarded $382,000 to help 49 individual young vocalists at the start of their operatic career. Igor never forgot his early struggles to survive and launch his career; consequently, his family established this award at the Community Foundation for Southern Arizona as a fitting way to honor his memory in providing opportunities for aspiring vocalists.
For gifted vocalists poised to begin successful careers, flying from city to city to audition, and hiring accompanists and coaches is expensive. The award money is unrestricted and may be used for coaching, travel, clothing, living costs, and audition expenses. The 2025 award is up to $12,000 at the discretion of the adjudicating committee.
Nominations are now open! Deadline to apply is December 6th, 2024 by 5:00 pm MST. Late or incomplete applications will not be considered.
