SVI 2026 is complete! What an amazing week.

Thank you to all of our participants for sharing their talent and time with us. We had a fantastic group who shared a very special recital this afternoon. Until next year, SVI!

SVI Day #4 came and went so quickly 💨

Today was an awesome day! Our learning included French Diction, harmonic analysis, performance techniques, and a superb workshop with Bob Shoup, Chorus Master at the Virginia Symphony, about life as a professional choral musician! 🎶

Day #3 of SVI is complete! We can’t believe how fast the week going!

Highlights include harmonic analysis and dictation work with Ms. Barlow, German diction, group piano and a fantastic masterclass on role preparation and performance with the amazing Hunter Enoch!

Day #2 of SVI ☑️ Thank you, VA Opera’s Brandon Eldredge, for a fantastic workshop on auditioning! We enjoyed yoga 🧘🏻‍♀️ with the amazing Sarah Frauenzimmer, and had fun exploring performance techniques in studio!

We had an awesome first day of SVI 2026! Highlights including studio class with Anna and Hannah, and a fun workshop with Cynthia Vaughn!

And our last workshop presenter at the 2026 Summer Voice Intensive is… drum roll please… Brandon Eldredge! We enjoyed his workshop so much last summer, and we can’t wait to have him back!
