Vicky Oveson Memorial Award

Pianist and vocalist Vicky Oveson was an exceptionally dedicated musician, of tremendous intellect and talent. She held a Bachelor of Music (with distinction) in theory and composition and a Master of Arts in Musicology focusing on Afro-Cuban music. Vicky was an in-demand performer, accompanist, music educator and examiner. Although she was an accomplished classical pianist, her true passion was the music, people, and culture of Cuba. The Vicky Oveson Memorial Award was established in Vicky's memory to support trailblazing musicians who exemplify leadership, seek continuous improvement, take initiative to create opportunities, and demonstrate tenacity in pursuing their goals.
