Miriam Grosman is a Full Professor in the School of Music at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, UFRJ. She holds a Doctorate of Musical Arts, bestowed upon her by The Catholic University of America, in Washington DC, and a Masters in Music from UFRJ, where she is responsible for the development of relevant, artistic activity as a soloist and chamber musician. She has performed at various venues in Brazil, Portugal, Spain, Austria, Italy, Greece and the United States. She is a member of the Mignone Trio, whose recordings include two, as of yet unpublished trios, for flute, cello and piano, along with excellent reviews, including from the Diapason Magazine, which applauded the CD with a highest rating of 5 "Tuning Forks." Her recordings and performances are characterized by an eclectic repertoire, both national and international, emphasizing the dissemination of Brazilian music in her CD releases and premieres of renowned composers.
The Gerald Tracy Memorial Scholarship Fund was created in January 1983 with funds available from life income trusts established at the College by the late Pennington Haile '24 in memory of his friend Gerald Tracy. Annual revenues from the Fund are awarded each year to a Dartmouth undergraduate who is a serious piano student, who shows potential for a professional career as a concert pianist, and who also qualifies for financial aid under the conditions established by the College Trustees. Each spring the Music Department holds The Gerald Tracy Piano Competition, through which it hopes to identify outstanding piano students to be awarded first, second, and third prize awards.
Awarded to the highest-ranking winner of the Tracy Competition who is eligible for financial aid, the Tracy Scholarship recognizes the student's serious pursuit of an instrument, and his or her potential for further professional involvement in music. As the Tracy Scholar, the student receives, in addition to his or her competition award, an additional $100 in scholarship aid per enrolled term. Moreover, the Scholarship is recorded in official College transcripts and represents an important academic recognition.
