The Louis Vyner Award, named in honor of the late founder and first conductor of the Lancaster Symphony Orchestra in Performance, was established in 1980 to provide scholarships for outstanding music majors at Millersville University. The award recognizes student excellence in musical performance, including conducting. It is awarded annually to a single, full-time music major at MU, selected by an audition committee comprised of Music Department faculty on the basis of outstanding performance in the field of music and demonstrated academic excellence. The winner of last year's competition was Millersville University senior and pianist Sharon Ho (pictured).
