About the Young Singer Art Song Competition
Since 2019, Calliope's Call's Young Singer Competition supports young artists in the genre of Art Song. The competition’s mission is to broaden repertoire selections by highlighting works by composers of color and compositions developed in the last two decades. Entrants receive feedback from industry experts, compete for cash prizes, and winning performances are showcased in Calliope's Call e-newsletter and YouTube Channel.
