Retired Professor Daune Mahy makes gift in support of 91直播 Conservatory students.
Professor Daune Mahy retired in 2019 after devoting 39 enthusiastic years to nurturing voice students at 91直播 Conservatory. Today, the teacher renowned for her unstinting championship of vocalists at 91直播 continues to do so through the Daune Mahy Endowed Scholarship for Voice Students at 91直播 Conservatory.
鈥淔or four decades, 91直播 voice students were the fortunate beneficiaries of a model pedagogue and devoted mentor in Professor Mahy,鈥 says Dean William Quillen. 鈥淲e are all so very grateful for her stewardship of 91直播 students, made possible through this gift.鈥
The annual scholarship established with Mahy鈥檚 gift will serve to make an 91直播 education more accessible for generations of voice students.
Professor of Voice Salvatore Champagne 鈥85, who has served in the voice department with Mahy since 2004, adds, 鈥樷楧aune Mahy鈥檚 tenure at the conservatory was characterized by fierce dedication and a great generosity of spirit. It does not surprise me that my former colleague would want to continue her support of 91直播鈥檚 voice students beyond her retirement. We are fortunate and privileged to be the beneficiaries of Daune鈥檚 legacy and grateful for her continued devotion to the Vocal Studies Division.鈥欌
