Dayton Opera Artist-in-Residence Collaborative Pianist
The Dayton Opera Artists-in-Residence Program was established in 1987 to serve as a professional training program for young singers as a bridge to move from the university/conservatory education experience into the arena of a professional opera company. Since its inception, over one hundred young artists have participated in this program. Artists are selected by audition and work together to perform education and outreach programs in our community, helping to ensure the future of this magnificent art form in our area. The Collaborative Pianist will accompany the Artists in Residence who will sing at various community, donor, and social events, and perform recitals. They will also participate in masterclasses with established artists and business professionals to foster their artistic development and provide insight into both the art and business aspects of making a career in opera.
