CUHK Student Wins Music Scholarship David Chung Yu-sum, a fourth-year harpsichord student at the Department of Music, has been awarded the Jardine Matheson Music Scholarship to further his studies at the Royal Academy of Music in London for three years. Twenty-one-year-old Mr. Chung, who will graduate from the University in June, is the third winner of this scholarship, which was established in 1979 with an endowment from Mr. Jeremy Brown, a former managing director of Jardine Matheson. Mr. Brown is now a director of Matheson & Company in London, and he presented the award to Mr. Chung during a recent visit to Hong Kong. The scholarship covers tuition, living expenses and assisted passage home upon completion of the studies. It is awarded on the basis of performances at the regular practical examinations held in Hong Kong by the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music, ranking equally with other scholarships offered by the Royal Schools Board. Only the student with the best performance at such examinations will be selected. Mr. Chung has been a recipient of many other scholarships including the Sir Edward Youde Memorial Scholarship and the Jackie Chan Charitable Foundation Scholarship. He plans to obtain some performance experience after his three-year study at the Royal Academy before deciding whether to pursue a Ph.D. programme in Music. STUDENTS 22
