The Hart House Orchestra inaugurated the K. Alan Turner Prize on March 26th, 1992 at its Spring concert. The prize was presented to recognize the long-standing service of Alan Turner to Hart House and to congratulate the winner of the Hart House Orchestra Members Concerto Competition.¹ (At that time, the competition was open to members of the Hart House Orchestra, Chamber Winds, Chamber Strings and Jazz Ensemble.) K. Alan Turner was elected to the Hart House Music Committee in 1943 while studying electrical engineering at the University of Toronto.
