Music students who finished atop the December juries in their instruments will vie for the Ron W. Ianni Memorial Performance Scholarship on Friday — and the recital is free to attend.

Established in 2005 to honour the late president of the University of Windsor, the annual $500 juried prize is open only to full-time music students.

This year’s competitors include:

• Madeline Abanid, jazz voice
• Josh Dunkley, classical voice
• Yu-Jin Kwon, classical piano
• Joseph Maceroni, jazz drums
• Calvin Sulja, jazz bass
• Dreya Whited, jazz clarinet
• Alice Zacharias, classical violin

The recital is open to the public and will begin at noon Jan. 17 in the Armouries Performance Hall at 353 Freedom Way.
