Launch of the Emerging Artist Program

The Song Company’s new Emerging Artist Program will build new professional pathways for emerging vocal talent through understudying, potential performance opportunities, and one-on-one skill development and mentoring with the artists of The Song Company.

The program has two areas of focus:

  • Emerging Artists: early career singers with demonstrated vocal training and experience in choral and/or ensemble singing
  • Apprentices: classical voice students enrolled in university or equivalent courses or recent graduates with an interest in singing in vocal ensembles 

This project is made possible by generous support from The Ian Potter Foundation.
