Gordon Scott was a popular piano and singing teacher, choral director and organist. He was the Director of Music at St. John's United Church for 46 years, from 1942 until his death in May 1988. His junior choir from St. John's won the coveted Verney-Cave Trophy on several occasions. He was recognized for his generosity in accompanying many young singers during the Festival. He was also the founder of the renowned Stratford Boys' Choir.
Gordon won international recognition for his musical ability at age 13 when he achieved the highest standing in Canada for his intermediate Toronto Conservatory of Music examination. Gordon Scott was a member of the Perth County Music Teachers' Federation and its President in 1954-5 and 1961. He joined the Stratford Musical Festival in 1943 on the Music Selection Committee and also served on a variety of other committees such as: 'Halls', 'Programs', 'Publicity', and 'Scholarships'. After the Kiwanis Club of Stratford assumed the operation of the Festival, Gordon Scott continued to serve on the Music Selection Committee (Choral, Senior Vocal) until 1987.
This trophy was originally presented to a Male Vocalist Ages 11 - 15. It has been reassigned to the Senior Vocal classes.
