MUSIC

Hinsdale Central High School

Mission Statement

The study of music involves participation, discussion and performance of musical works that have artistic and historical importance.  Each student will strive to develop his or her own skills to the highest possible level.  In support of these ideals, we endeavor to create quality large ensemble performances, study music of historical significance, rehearse separately and together to develop expertise, establish relationships that foster understanding, discover the relationships between music and culture, and become lifelong musical learners.

Hansen Family Scholarship

Each year, in collaboration with the Hinsdale Central High School Foundation, the Hansen Family Music Excellence Scholarship Fund (the “Fund”) awards merit-based scholarship grants (the “Scholarship(s)”) to three graduating seniors in the HCHS Music Department. The Fund’s Selection Committee chooses successful recipients based on the student’s application, faculty assessment and personal essay, and awards one deserving student in each of the three main HCHS performance areas – Band, Orchestra and Vocal Performance. Formed in 2017, the purpose of the Fund and its activities is to recognize and to promote the excellence of the HCHS Music Department and of its students.


Annually, the Fund announces successful recipients of the Scholarships at the HCHS Music Awards Concert, with monetary grants given at the HCHS Senior Awards Assembly. To be considered, student applications must be completed and submitted to the Fund’s Selection Committee in accordance with the timing and guidelines as specified on the Fund’s website -www.HansenFamilyScholarship.com,  There, interested individuals can find information on the Fund’s scholarship program, including the Fund’s mission; scholarship awards; student qualifications; application process; fund history; and, points of contact.  In addition, students can find the link to the Fund’s scholarship program application.
