Judging will be conducted by voice faculty from music schools throughout the country.
Singers will come prepared with 3 contrasting selections (art songs or arias) of their choice, preferably one in a language other than English, at a level appropriate to your vocal development. At least one song must be in English.
One of the selections may be a musical theater selection. Please keep in mind that the emphasis of this competition is classical singing. Choose repertoire appropriately.
Selections must be performed with piano accompaniment only. No other accompanying instruments are allowed.
Singers will present the first selection of their choosing. Judges may then ask to hear a second selection.
Singers must bring a list, preferably word processed, with the singer's name and the titles and composers of the three selections.
