Testimonials

"My experience at the Festival was life changing. From performing one of my favorite roles and working on it with incredible artists, to making new lifelong friends and musical connections, to collaborating with fantastic pianists and chamber musicians, to singing for people in current hiring positions. It was all so enlightening and made me feel ready for my next professional engagement!"

 

"Simply put: Best. Summer. Ever."

 

"I grew so much this summer in so many areas thanks to the wonderful staff and performance opportunities given. I was able to make so many great connections that once seemed so far from me.

 

"My preconceived notions of what the full 8-week program would be were far below the actual experience. Not a single dull moment, musically or socially."
