Murray Panitz (1925-1989) was the principal flutist of the Philadelphia Orchestra
from 1961-1989. He was known for his dazzling technique, precise intonation, and
a sound that could fill the largest halls. Many current FSGP members were former
students of Murray Panitz. They wanted to find a way to both honor his memory
and recognize his contributions to the Philadelphia flute world. The result is the
establishment of this scholarship award which will go towards supporting
continued flute study of local undergraduate students.
The 2015 scholarship fund’s inaugural gift of $500 is being sponsored by
Joan Sparks and the Flute Pro Shop.
