Region Finals 2016

Join us at the Region Finals as 12 singers compete for a spot in the Semi-Finals to be held on the stage of the Metropolitan Opera.

Doors open at 12pm, and the singing will commence at 1pm. Then join us at a reception while the judges deliberate (at approximately 3pm) and stay for the announcement of the singers on stage.

Judges for the day are Gayletha Nichols, Craig Rutenberg and Paul Kilmer. Bios will be available on our website. The singers will be accompanied on the piano by Doug Martin.

Please consider paying the full suggested ticket price or making a donation. Not only will you enjoy two hours of beautiful singing, but also a reception with light refreshments and small bites.
