Career Bridges mission is to
help young opera singers launch their
careers. For many years they have
contributed to talented young opera singers
realizing their dreams. Many
extraordinarily gifted young operatic
singers complete their formal training but
are not yet fully prepared for a career.
Lack of good training in many areas, lack of
funds for further study, limited performance
opportunities, and lack of guidance have
stymied many of these extremely qualified
singers in the pursuit of their careers,
thus depriving us all of their potential
greatness. Based
on the recommendations of a 20-25 member
Panel of Experts, Career Bridges provides
grants for coaching in voice, diction,
language, repertory and stage deportment.
Further grants include career guidance,
performance opportunities, and assistance in
career promotion. Career Bridges provides
mentoring, evaluating and further grants
over a period of three years.
3 years of grants are
provided to each individual singer based on
the recommendations of their 25-member panel
comprised of internationally recognized
experts in repertory & vocal coaching;
conductors; stage directors; artist
managers/agents; opera company impresarios,
et al. These grants include personal
coaching in diction, language, repertory,
and stage development. Further grants
include career guidance, performance
opportunities, opera workshops, and
assistance in career promotions
Each
grant winner is eligible for grants for a
total of 3 years, and is re-evaluated by our
Panel of Experts annually. During
these years they provide ongoing counseling,
paid performance opportunities, concerts,
school performances, and workshops in which
our winners get their most valuable training
- in that they bring to life on the stage
what they have learned in the studio.
Our artistic staff mentor these
performances.
For 19 years they have
mentored over 180 grant winners in their
unique 3-year Mentoring Program. Their
program provides the “bridge” from the
classroom world to the professional
community for their winners – many of whom
are now on their way to productive singing
careers around the world. They are committed
to providing the unique level of tangible
and practical support that will enable their
young singers the opportunity to fulfill
their potential and achieve the greatness
that will enhance all our lives.
