Donor Story:
The scholarship honours the legacy of Clifford Crawley who taught composition and music education at Queen’s University for two decades. The many musical works he composed for both professional and amateur musicians in Kingston and beyond continue to be well-loved and widely performed. The scholarship is offered in the spirit of his strong belief that anyone who learns to tell or write a story should equally learn to create music.
