Partners for the Arts,Inc. Vocal Awards Competition
PARTNERS for the Arts, Inc. is a unique and exciting new organization designed to assist, promote, and encourage emerging performing artists not under professional management. Toward this end, we are partnering with conservatories and schools of music as well as opera companies in the mid-Atlantic region.
Through PARTNERS’ events such as musicales, concerts, master classes, lectures, and an annual vocal competition with cash awards for the winners, we seek to help talented singers by introducing them to our partnering opera companies and by offering them a platform for public presentation.
In addition, PARTNERS will collaborate with others to develop programs that nurture audience development and appreciation of classical music and the arts.
