GUY STOPPERT SCHOLARSHIP
The Great Lakes Male Chorus Association has established the Guy Stoppert Scholarship fund to assist promising students of music at the college level who show interest in the promotion and performance of male chorus music and possess an appreciation of personal, fraternal, and artistic harmony.
This year's recipient is David Theis who was sponsored by Lansing's Men of Orpheus.
David, a junior at Michigan State University, is pursuing a bachelor’s degree in Vocal Performance and Music Education. An East Lansing native, he is heavily involved in music as a member of the MSU Men’s Glee Club and MSU Chorale and soloist with the MSU Opera Theater and Great Lakes Chamber Orchestra. In addition, he serves as assistant music director at East Lansing’s St. Thomas Aquinas Parish where he directs the High School Youth Choir and assists with the parish’s Adult Choir. Upon completion of his undergraduate work, David’s plans are to apply his musical passion and education to either performance or teaching, with an eye toward earning advanced degrees in music.
