Thomas Atkins awarded grant for study at the Guildhall

Posted on 19 December 2013

In 2012 New Zealand Tenor, Thomas Atkins, completed his Bachelor of Music at the New Zealand Music School, Victoria University, majoring in performance under the tutelage of Jenny Wollerman. He was subsequently awarded the 2012 Moyra Todd Memorial Scholarship for a young singer of exceptional promise. He won the Recital Class, the Harding Morris Challenge Cup and the Robin Dumbell Memorial Cup awarded to the young aria finalist with the most potential in the 2012 Wellington Aria Competition. That same year he reached the finals of the IFAC
Australian Singing Competition and as a result of his performance received the Guildhall School of Music and Drama Award (which included a full fees study scholarship), the Sheila Prior Prize,
the Phoebe Patrick Award and the Vianden International Summer School Award. He recently received a Kiri Te Kanawa Foundation grant to support his postgraduate studies at the Guildhall
