This scholarship has been established to celebrate the life and work of the late voice teacher and performer Honor McKellar. It will support an undergraduate or postgraduate student who demonstrates outstanding promise in the study of Classical Voice.
Honor was a renowned mezzo-soprano and passionate teacher. As Otago’s first full-time executant voice teacher, she taught some of Aotearoa New Zealand’s most distinguished singers, including Patrick Power ONZM, Jonathan Lemalu ONZM, and Matt Landreth.
A generous gift from a family member launched the scholarship fund, and we are now seeking further donations to create an endowment that will enable this scholarship to be awarded for years to come.
By supporting this scholarship, you are helping to nurture the future of music in Dunedin and New Zealand.
