As of the first of the new year, and until January 31, Tuesday Musical is accepting applications for its 2023 Scholarship Competition, the 67th edition. Twenty-three scholarships, ranging from $1,000 to $2,000 each, will be awarded to college students majoring in music performance and/or music education, provided they are Ohio residents, or they are studying with a music teacher at an Ohio college or university. The competition will be held in-person on March 18 at The University of Akron. Winners will then be invited to the Final Round/Winners Concert on May 21. Click here for more information.

For their relatively short length and narrow width, those strings caused quite the wave of amused chatter in the Tudor House at Gilmour Academy.
