Eastman’s prestigious German Lieder competition has a long tradition of representing and rewarding the finest performance artistry. It was founded by George McWhorter (Rare Books Librarian and Curator of the Burroughs Collection at the Ekstrom Library of the University of Louisville, and former member of New York City Opera, and ESM alumnus) to honor Jessie Kneisel, Professor Emerita of German who passed away in 1992. The award is given to both singer and pianist, with first and second prizes in both categories. The final jury occurs in Kilbourn Hall in a recitallike atmosphere on Saturday, May 11. The winner gives a recital including at least one group of German Lieder on the Saturday evening of the Graduation weekend.
