Virginia Parker Prize

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Virginia Parker Prize (originally known as the Virginia P. Moore Prize) is an annual award given to outstanding young classical musicians (singers, instrumentalists, or conductors) who have previously been recipients of Canada Council grants. The Virginia Parker Prize recipients receive $25,000 to help further their professional careers.[1]

Originally established by Virginia Parker and her husband Thomas Alexander Gzowski (T.A.G.) Moore in 1982, the prize is funded by the Virginia Parker Foundation and is now administered by the Canada Council.
