The Florence and Stanley Osborne Scholarship in Church Music
The Florence and Stanley Osborne Scholarship in Church Music was established in 1972 by Dr. & Mrs. Stanley L. Osborne (founding Director and ‘first lady’ of the Summer Institute of Church Music) to be awarded by an organ competition stressing both repertoire performance and the artful and inspiring leadership of congregational song. These two disciplines are given equal priority in the judging of the competition, and no prize is awarded to any candidate failing to demonstrate superior skill in both areas.
The Osborne Organ Competition is held biennially in even-numbered years; funds awarded support advanced study in organ and/or church music.
The Jury of the 26th Osborne Organ Competition in 2024 will be chaired by Toronto-based performer, teacher and church musician Jonathan Oldengarm. The Osborne Competition Coordinator is Adriaan Bakker, Director of Music at All Saints’ Anglican Church, Whitby.
