From EverybodyWiki Bios & Wiki
The Gwendolyn and Adolph Koldofsky Memorial Scholarship or Gwendolyn and Adolph Koldofsky Memorial Endowed Scholarship is an endowed scholarship offered by the USC Thornton School of Music to commemorate Gwendolyn Koldofsky and Adolph Koldofsky.
History[edit]
Gwendolyn Koldofsky created the Department of Accompanying at the music school in 1947, which was the first degree granting program of its kind in the world. She founded the annual Koldofsky Fellowship in Accompanying scholarship at the music school in 1951 upon the death of her husband and collaborator Adolph, a violinist. Upon her death in 1998, the scholarship became the Gwendolyn and Adolph Koldofsky Memorial Scholarship. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]
