STUDENTS AND STUDIES
MUSIC
Congratulations to Chloe Thum '20 for qualifying as a finalist in VOICES OF THE FUTURE, a classical singing competition for students in grades 10-12 who live or attend school in Bucks County.
Following the application process and then a live audition, four finalists are selected and are invited to perform in a public master class with acclaimed voice teacher, Sharon Sweet. Sharon Sweet is a dramatic soprano with a distinguished international career. In addition to her solo career in the Metropolitan Opera Company, she has recorded on the Philips, BMG, Sony, and Chandos labels.
At the conclusion of the master class, $2,500 in cash prizes will be presented. In addition, the top finalist will be invited to appear as a soloist at the Choral Society's concluding subscription concert in June 2019. The overall level of auditions was truly outstanding this year, making the final subjective choices extremely difficult.
