The Indianapolis Matinee Musicale Collegiate Scholarship Competition was started in 1958 by Helen Crandall, a renowned voice teacher in Indianapolis.  Since that date, $430,800.00 has been awarded to 855 graduate and undergraduate music students in the state of Indiana.  Each year, approximately $19, 000 in prizes is allocated. Many winners have gone on to international careers.

Recipients include such noted musicians as Sylvia McNair, Otis Murphy, and Peter Jankovic.

The 2021 Indianapolis Matinee Musicale Collegiate competition will be held on February 13, 2021.  All other information, including location, types of instruments which will be participating, and the application form, is not yet available.
