Graduation of the Stars 2009
PHILADELPHIA | This year Academy of Vocal Arts graduated 8 artists, a huge class by our standards. That’s about 1/3 of our roster of 28 artists.
I enjoyed working with each of them. I also enjoyed attending their last free concert. As I mentioned to Angela Meade, to hear her next season at the Met I will probably have to pay $500 a ticket (close enough) in the nosebleed section. It will be worth it.
Their professional accomplishments, while still students at AVA, are remarkable. To eliminate redundancy, please click on artist’s bio link.
Congratulations to all!
