For the 15th consecutive year, VOICExperience Foundation (VE) founded by acclaimed operatic baritone Sherrill Milnes and soprano Maria Zouves, will offer their annual Opera Idol master class competition. Traditionally taking place in the Chicago area, this annual event will take place virtually on Tuesday, June 1 at 7 p.m. EST, due to COVID-19 restrictions.
Four of the following aspiring classical singers will compete in front of an online audience for one full scholarship to attend the Milnes VOICE Studio.
At the 2011 Young Artist Competition put on by Music Worcester in Alden Hall at Worcester Polytechnic Institute, the Music Guild Prize was won by 12-year-old cellist Zlatomir Fung of Westboro.
The competition was for musicians ages 12-18 in Worcester County. Fung received a $1,100 scholarship and an invitation to perform at the Music Guild s Luncheon and Musicale.
Ten months later in 2012, Fung was performing as a cello soloist at Symphony Pro Music concerts in Westboro and Hudson. I remember the room in which the composition happened, Fung, now 21, said. A lot of these competitions I did, I remember quite vividly because I was building it up in my mind as the biggest thing I ve ever done. And it was true. At the time, it was the biggest thing I ve ever done.
