Peter and Audrey Switzer Trophy Room

Voice - Hislop Memorial Trophy

Donated By: Mrs. W.H. Collier
First Presented: 1952
Criteria: Best or Most Promising Vocalist - Preparatory/Beginner Level

Mrs. W. H. Collier donated this trophy in memory of her parents who were killed in the Second World War during a bombing raid over Glasgow. The German air force targeted Glasgow's shipping yards during these raids. One night, the bombers aimed for the sewing machine factory near her parents' home, thinking the factory was producing munitions. They made a direct hit and both her parents were killed.

Mrs. Collier donated the trophy for a junior vocalist as her daughter, the renowned Barbara Collier, who was a Festival participant for many years, was competing in the senior vocal classes and thus would not be eligible for the Hislop Memorial Trophy.
