While seminar themes may vary, most are designed to allow a few singers to perform/demonstrate in a master class setting. Singer participants should sign up 1-2 weeks in advance. (Even if you have not signed up, bring your music in case time permits you to perform.) To sign up, contact our Events Coordinator, Susanna Adams (her phone number is 244-1276, email: events@rochestervocalarts.org), giving your name, phone number, email address, event date, and proposed song choice(s). She will get back to you directly to confirm your participation and to let you know of any particular requirements for that event. She will explain accompanist policies, and answer any questions you may have.
