The prize supports an individual student or a student ensemble of up to 3 players to pursue excellence in musicianship and performance and underwrites a state-wide performance tour.

The tour will include a performance in Queenstown in memory of Margaret Stoermer, thanks to an extension prize gifted by her son Christian Stoermer.
