About
The Hoefer Prize, awarded each year to a graduate of the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, stems from a bequest by Jacqueline Stanhope Hoefer, a devout San Francisco arts patron from the 1970s until her death at age 83 in 2006. The Hoefer Trust earmarked a significant gift for the endowment of a fund to produce one new commissioned piece per year by an alumnus composer, to be performed at the Conservatory under the aegis of the BluePrint program. The winning composer receives a cash award and visits the Conservatory for a week-long residency that includes rehearsals, seminars, master classes and other activities.
