Senior Matthew Luca has officially been named College of The Holy Cross Organ Scholar of the Class of 2022
This honor includes a full scholarship to Holy Cross. It is offered every other year to ONE student. You may remember, this was not to be the scheduled year, but upon hearing Matt perform, the professor was so taken with him that he petitioned the Dean of HC to make an exception and offer it to Matt a year ahead of schedule.
Matt will be studying with the world renowned organist and professor – James David Christie.
The Organ Scholarship is offered on a periodic basis and is renewable on a yearly basis. The recipient of this scholarship will have available the 1985 four manual, fifty-stop mechanical action organ located in the beautiful St. Joseph Memorial Chapel. As the Holy Cross Organ Scholar, it is expected that the awardee will assist the College Organist in all aspects of the chapel music program. The Organ Scholar will also be expected to major in music, take voice lessons, study organ privately for four years, and have a career goal in church music and/or organ. Applicants for the scholarship should have experience in church music and a strong background in keyboard studies and sight-reading.
