About this scholarship

Howard Fortnam Sleath (1899–1984) was well known to instrumentalists throughout Australia for the excellence of his craftsmanship and skill as a maker of stringed instruments. In 1974 he donated a set of four instruments (two violins, a viola and a cello) to The University of Queensland Department of Music. Following his death, the University of Queensland received a bequest from Howard Sleath to assist the study of stringed instruments played with a bow. Established in 1998, the annual Sleath String Performance Prize is one of the activities funded from that bequest.
