The Handel and Haydn Society has announced the 2022 Youth Choruses Scholarship Award Recipients.

“We are immensely proud of the skill and dedication on display in our Youth Choruses every year. These talented young adults have performed side-by-side with the H+H Chorus, shinning in historically informed performances at Symphony Hall, the Hatch Shell, and Fenway Park,” said David Snead, President, and CEO of H+H in an official press statement made by the company. “The H+H Education Committee has done an incredible job selecting these very deserving honorees.”

The recipients will be honored in a recital on June 1, 2022 at the New England Conservatory.

Lynéa Zaborowski is the winner of the Barbara E. Maze Award for Musical Excellence and will obtain a $3,000 prize. Zaborowski is a former alumnus of the organization’s Youth Choruses program.

The Candace Macmillen Achtmeyer Award, which “honors the memory of a member of the H+H Board who voiced passionate opinions about H+H’s responsibility to the community and children,” will go to Manya Ziemiecki, a senior at Milford High School who is set to study at McGill University as a voice student. She will receive a $2,000 prize.

The Evangelyna Etienne Scholarship Award is a $1,000 prize that goes to a current or former Youth Choruses program student between the age of 16 and 24 who loves connecting with the community through music; this year’s recipient is Stavros First.

Other winners include Lydia Rommel, Shreya Sarcar, and Somin Virmani, each of whom received Achievement Awards and $1,000 scholarships.
