![]() I hope you enjoy your experience with us this evening, and welcome you to join us again, and often. With a faculty of international renown, a stealthy annual lineup of important visiting artists, and a strong commitment to a meaningful list of civic and global initiatives, Boston Conservatory’s Voice Department is an exciting place to be! We’re helping students build a life for themselves through music that has purpose and that could actually change the world. There is an ethic of care here that is distinct, and that champions people’s goals and aspirations in ways where they feel creative, safe, powerful, and courageous in and through the learning. Inherent in this charge is our faculty and administration’s commitment to foster a genuine sense of goodness, breathing familial inspiration through our Conservatory’s hallways and learning spaces. Providing a transformative high level of training is Boston Conservatory’s reason for being. I am so grateful to our generous donors whose support provides access to the tools and resources our students and faculty need to succeed here and beyond. This academic year also welcomes several new faculty members, and my arrival as chair of the Department and artistic director of the voice and opera performance season. ![]() Additionally, Voice Department classes in art song, vocal pedagogy, and the choral arts, will welcome an exceptional lineup of visiting clinicians, each of whom brings their own powerful and distinct voice to bear on our season’s productions and curricula. The partnership unlocks incredible opportunities for Boston Conservatory students and members of BLO’s Jane and Steven Akin Emerging Artists, and includes the Opera Innovators Series -a curated collection of talks and master classes that engage some of the most innovative and sought-after figures in the opera world. Just this past September, Boston Conservatory announced a new educational and artist development partnership with our neighbor, Boston Lyric Opera (BLO). Indeed, our students, faculty and staff are heirs to a harvest of memory, spirit, dream, and music that long preceded us and that now nourishes and sustains us. We continue building on the rich history of our Voice Department that houses the oldest opera training program in America, and that has served young artists, the field of singing, and the city of Boston for more than 100 years. The scope and variety of annual Voice Department performances and curated offerings testify of the ways Boston Conservatory mentors its students to thrive as artist-citizens in an ever-changing world and marketplace.
