Hinsdale Central High School
Studying music means getting involved, having meaningful discussions, and performing pieces that are both artistically powerful and historically important. We want each student to develop their skills to the best of their ability. To make that happen, we focus on creating great ensemble performances, diving into music with historical significance, practicing both alone and with others to build expertise, and building connections that help us understand each other. Most importantly, we want to inspire a lifelong love of music and help everyone continue learning and growing as musicians.

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.
