I am very humbled to accept one of two Richard Maidment Scholarships from Help Musicians UK for the next academic year. Having read more about the history of my award, I was very sad to read that the lady who set up the award in memory of her beloved brother, Peggy Cooper, passed away only last summer.
I am incredibly grateful to her and this wonderful charity, along with many others no doubt, for this very generous award and its huge support towards my studies and career development. I’m sad I will never meet her or her brother Richard Maidment, however I’m certain her legacy will continue to help aspiring singers for many more years to come.
