Young Artists

Each year, Seagle Music Colony selects thirty-two of the finest young singers from across the country and around the world to participate in its program.  Young artists are chosen through a rigorous application and audition process.  Both live auditions and recorded auditions are considered in the selection process. 

Artists participate in six fully staged productions every season along with recitals, concerts, diction and acting classes, and vespers - sacred music concerts. Twice weekly, artists receive private voice lessons. Artists also receive private coaching sessions. A major portion of class time each year is devoted to audition techniques and career planning.  Masterclasses by visiting professional artists, artists' managers and professional company arts administrators are regularly scheduled throughout the summer.  Classes and sessions in other theatrical aspects of the performance of opera and musical theatre, including sets and costumes, make-up and hairstyling are also given.
