Please be aware that we may also choose to invite artists who apply as a duo on an individual basis.

“I want to encourage singers to be intellectually curious and adventurous in their approach to song repertoire; to think outside the box in their choice of repertoire, including music beyond the standard classical literature; and to experiment with new elements.” –  Renée Fleming
