Opera for Peace: A master class for diversity in the arts
“By inviting singers from around the world, the non-profit Opera for Peace hopes to develop greater diversity among performers of opera, and to inspire the next generation of opera audiences. Correspondent Seth Doane talks with African American singer Hannah Jeané Jones, who traveled to Rome to participate in the program; and with soprano Forooz Razavi, who sang with an R&B group in Iran before she fell in love with opera.”
MSM Alumni in Met Opera's Lindemann Young Artist Development Program
“Hannah Jones (MM '24), Ye In Kwak (MM '24), and Yeongtaek Yang (MM '24) have been accepted into the Met Opera's Lindemann Young Artist Development Program for the 2024-25 season.
Founded in 1980, the Lindemann Young Artist Development Program is regarded as one of the world's most prominent training programs for emerging opera talent. Manhattan School of Music alumni have accounted for 11% of all Lindemann Program participants.”
How this program advances diversity in classical vocal arts
“Grammy-winning opera singer Denyce Graves founded Shared Voices, which connects students at HBCUS with those at conservatories, and student Kevin Webb performs a Handel classic.”
