Ye Cronies Clubbe (est. 1877)
Ye Cronies Opera Award
Run as a separate Trust, the Ye Cronies Opera Award looks to support young emerging artistes training at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland.
Since 1989, Ye Cronies has sponsored an annual competition for students of the Alexander Gibson Opera School.
In 2018, in honour of the Club's former Concert Director and long-time member, the "John Watson Quaich" was created to recognise the promise displayed by the award winner and is presented at our Gala Night each March.
