Rosemary Glyde Scholarship Program

About the Rosemary Glyde Scholarships

The Scholarships are named in honor of Rosemary Glyde (1949-1994), founder and first President of the New York Viola Society. Rosemary Glyde was, among other things, a renowned performer, teacher and composer. Her viola teachers included Lillian Fuchs, and she received a Doctorate in Performance from the Juilliard School. Her performance credits included being violist of the Manhattan String Quartet as well as numerous other ensemble and solo performances. The Scholarships are an outgrowth of her expressed interest in exploring different ways to encourage young people to study the viola.
