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.

John Watson Quaich

​

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.
