Testimonials:
 
It has been a true pleasure to participate in the 2022 Partners competition. As you know, opportunities like this are vital for young singers to continue to progress in their careers and get their names out there.  Over the past few years, Partners for the Arts organization has made participating in the competition as simple and inclusive as possible, something that many high-level competitions struggle to match. It was an honor to make it to the finals this year, and it is because of your support that I am also receiving an award.  Thank you so much for supporting me, the young singers, and especially Partners for the Arts organization. Schyler V.
