Both are piano students of Jane Luther Smith. BY IVY MOORE ivym@theitem.com The Woman's Afternoon Music Club has awarded its 2011 Clifton Moise Scholarship to Aaron Bolser, a May graduate of Sumter High School. The violinist, a student of Mary Ford, received a $500 cash award, with which he plans to purchase a new violin. Bolser played in the Sumter High School orchestra and plans to study music at Winthrop University in the fall. Second-place winners are Nicole Elizabeth Smith and Rebekah Nicole Jekel, both pianists. Smith is a 2011 graduate of Laurence Manning Academy, and Jekel is a rising senior at Wilson Hall. Both students of Jane Luther Smith, they received $100 cash prizes each. The scholarship fund was established by the Woman's Afternoon Music Club in 1969 and named in honor of the late Clifton Moise, a well-known musician and teacher who started the music program in the Sumter city schools. Moise attended the public schools of Sumter and did so well that he was allowed to enter the University of South Carolina as a sophomore, where he got his bachelor of arts and master of arts degrees in the 1930s. He studied piano, organ and music theory and composition in New York, receiving another degree from Cornell University. Moise studied with some of the best-known music masters in New York and Chicago. He persuaded the Sumter Board of Education to allow him to introduce the study of music into the schools. He taught public school students and, in the evenings, elementary school teachers in order to ensure that music education was available to everyone. In 1936, Moise presented to the public a 50-member orchestra, and in that same year started a high school band. At that time, he also organized a glee club comprising 25 boys and a girls' chorus with at least 300 members. Members of the Woman's Afternoon Music Club have said that many prominent musicians in Sumter, past and present, "owe much to Moise's masterful and exacting instructions, combined with charm and a sense of humor." His talent and dedication to stimulate an interest in music in youths are among the reasons the scholarship is named in his honor. Moise died in 1967 at the age of 86. Applications for the 2011-12 auditions will be mailed to area high school teachers in the fall. The Woman's Afternoon Music Club comprises women who are gifted in music. Each is required to perform for the club. Each December the club presents The Festival of Choirs, during which numerous ensembles from local churches and other organizations perform a free concert of Christmas music on the Sunday closest to Advent. The women also sponsor the annual Afternoon of Sacred Music, a concert of classical sacred music featuring guest musicians from around the area and their own choral ensemble. The awarding of the Clifton Moise Scholarship to a rising junior or senior musician in high school in Sumter County also takes place annually.
