Amelia T. Rieman Opera Endowment

Amelia T. Rieman is an inspiration to the students and faculty at The University of Arizona School of Music. Her deep love of music and her generous giving heart have led her to make a transforming investment in the University of Arizona School of Music. The Amelia T. Rieman Endowment ensures continued excellence in operatic studies at The University of Arizona. She also established an endowed fund for the annual Amelia Rieman Opera Competition, awarded annually to promising young artists pursuing training in opera. A commitment to students is the driving force for her establishment of the permanent endowment. According to Rieman, “My gifts are my response to music, they are an expression of what is inside of me. Ultimately though, it is about the future and what the students will be able to do because of the plans I have made.”
