The ROSL Commonwealth Music Scholarships have been widely expanded in the last few years, now including an award for a musician from the University of British Columbia, Canada. Annually, chamber musicians from Australia and New Zealand are selected to come to the UK for a scholarship tour, which includes giving concerts at various venues arranged by ROSL ARTS, coaching sessions with prestigious teachers at the London conservatoires and tickets to many of the finest concerts in the summer Proms season and other theatres. This experience often proves invaluable to our Commonwealth musicians, as they get a taste of professional music life in London, as well as at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and in other music festivals around the UK.

Winners of this award in the past have included: 

2006 Antipodes Quartet (NZ School of Music) Christabel Lin, Sophie Bird violins, Nicholas Hancox viola Sarah Dobbs cello; 2007 Trio Scintillatum (University of Auckland) Amalia Hall violin, Sophie Williams cello, John-Paul Muir piano; 2008 Duo Giocoso (NZ School of Music) Helen Bevin viola, Rafaella Garlick-Grice piano; 2009 Leonari Trio (University of Waikato) Hilary Hayes violin, Edward King cello, Maria Mo piano; 2010 Lazarus Quartet (University of Canterbury) Emma Yoon, Julianne Song violins, Lindsay McLay viola and Alice Gott cello; 2011 Estrella Quartet (University of Auckland) Somi Kim, Gemma Lee, Judy Lee, Cindy Tsao pianos 2012 Rothko Quartet (University of Auckland) Olivia Francis, Emily Bouwhuis violins, Alex MacDonald viola and Cameron Stuart cello; 2013 Trinity Trio (University of Auckland) Stella Kim, violin, Sally Kim, cello and Tina Kim, piano; 2014 QUATTRO (University of Waikato) Catherine Kwak, Jacky Siu, Alexander Arai-Swale, Sam Lucas cellos; 2015 Tasman Duo (University of Auckland) Lauren Bennett, violin and Bradley Wood, piano.
