The Handel and Haydn Society announced Seyquan Mack is one of four students receiving a 2020 Youth Choruses Scholarship Award.

The award honors the legacy of Handel and Haydn Society Governor Barbara E. Maze, who was instrumental in creating the Youth Choruses program.

The Barbara E. Maze Award for Musical Excellence extends the Handel and Haydn Society’s support with a $3,000 scholarship to an outstanding Youth Choruses alumnus who intends to continue professional vocal instruction.

“These are all immensely talented students and it has been a pleasure to see them grow and develop in their musical education through our youth choruses,” said David Snead, President and CEO of Handel and Haydn Society.

Due to the COVID-19 crisis the Handel and Haydn Society High School Soloists Recital in June, in which the students would normally be honored, has been canceled.
