Patricia Brown Choral Scholarship

We are pleased to announce the winner of the inaugural scholarship for 2025 is Emma Davison. 

Emma is a second year student at UNSW, currently studying a Bachelor of Arts with a double major in Music and Psychology, and an enthusiastic member of the Collegium Musicum Choir. She is breaking into the conducting world as a Choral Director at a high school in the Blue Mountains and directs the MyEnglish choir at UNSW.

Emma will take on a leadership role within the Collegium Musicum Choir and be acknowledged in the programs of public concerts across the year. The scholarship will provide invaluable experience for emerging choristers from which to springboard following graduation, and will create a community of scholars over time who will be linked to the creative legacy of Dr Patricia Brown, who was Associate Professor of Music at UNSW and founding director of the choral program.

The Music Performance Unit sincerely thanks the family of Patricia Brown for their ongoing vision and support of the Choral Program at UNSW, in honour of Patricia's memory, legacy, and extraordinary musical life at UNSW.
