Discover how opera companies are commissioning new work specifically for their teen vocal programs in this panel discussion with composers, educators and administrative staff. Learn how repertoire development for adolescent voices encourages broader youth involvement in opera and vocal training, and creates a stepping-stone to further studies in opera.

This session is one of several breakout sessions held concurrently during the New Works Forum.

The New Works Forum is made possible by a generous and deeply appreciated grant from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. Advance registration required. No additional fee.
