This scholarship is named after the founder of the Perth Symphonic Chorus, Dr Margaret Pride OAM.

Perth Symphonic Chorus has always supported and benefited from emerging artists. We are proud to have been a part of the development of many shining stars of the Australian and international opera stages, including Taryn Fiebig, Sara Macliver, and Lisa Harper-Brown. We hope to continue to honour this ethos, instilled by the Choir’s founder, Dr Margaret Pride, by formally supporting and providing mentorship and performance opportunities for singers on their pathway to professional work.
