Fayetteville-Manlius High School Student Wins Syracuse Chorale Scholarship

Emery Schramm, a 2019 Fayetteville-Manlius High School graduate, was named Syracuse Chorale's 2019 Voices of Tomorrow Scholarship winner. 

Schramm, the son of Tracy Holmes and Michael Schramm, plans to study Music Education at Syracuse University. He has extensive music and theater experience, including: Syracuse Children’s Chorus, Fayetteville-Manlius Choir and Musicals, and Fayetteville-Manlius’s Orchestra and Swing 16 group.  He received a perfect score on his All State NYSSMA solo in 2018 and also attended Area All-State this year.  Emery’s High School Vocal Teacher, Shawn Hebert, says this about Emery: “I’m not sure if I have ever taught a student more passionate about becoming a choral director and/or music theory teacher than Emery Schramm.  He embraces every opportunity to lead rehearsals, sectionals, tutorials, etc. with 100% verve and gusto.”

In addition to his talents as a performer, Schramm is a student leader in the community.  He has held the roles of Teacher Assistant, Chorus Student Leader, and was the Production Assistant for the musical in 2019.  In addition, he was the Musical Director for the Professional Recording of “The Emerald”.
​
Outside of music, Schramm holds a part-time job at Tops and volunteers in the “Big Sibling” program, as well as teaching German to Elementary Students once a week.
