Raridon - King Choral Art Scholarship
This scholarship was established by Holly King-Swartz in 2023 in honor of Dr. Wade “Doc” Raridon, who taught at the Dana School of Music for over 40 years. He founded the Dana Chorale and the Dana Madrigal Singers during his tenure there. In addition to building a choral program of excellence, he taught music theory, choral literature, diction, and vocal performance. Holly King-Swartz received a generous scholarship to Dana School of Music in 1986 and studied with Dr. Raridon to pursue music education and broaden her vocal gift. She saw him as a passionate instructor and a generous mentor who significantly impacted her, and over the past 50 years, musicians, students, and community members have been grateful recipients of Dr. Wade Raridon’s persistent passion for excellence in the choral arts. Holly desires to “pay it forward” to ensure it continues by providing opportunities for incoming students to find the same passion and joy for music as she experienced through Doc Raridon. To receive this scholarship, you must be an undergraduate student majoring in Music Education Vocal Track or Music Performance Voice Track with a minimum 3.0 GPA.
