The Jim and Charlotte Norcop Voice Studies Endowment Fund was established in 2003 by Jim Norcop to enrich the art of the song recital through competition, performances, composition, master classes, or any other means to advance and share the art form. The Faculty of Music wishes to acknowledge the generosity and vision of Jim Norcop in his championship and support of art song as a form of artistic expression and pedagogical training. We are privileged to have this endowment in place and pledge ourselves to its ongoing stewardship.
