Fresno Famous

July 17th at 7 PM * International Vocal Competition

Willow International Center * 10309 N. Willow in Fresno

Dueling Divas, Tenacious Tenors, and Bellowing Baritones battle it out for the top awards at the 2009 International Vocal Competition Finals. Three age divisions are represented in the competition of the Festival program - youth, collegiate and professional. Artists will be challenged on a variety of musical repertoire. Attending audience members will be able to vote for their favorite artists, as a world-wide panel of distinguished judges challenge singers to rise to the top through a grueling appraisal of stage deportment, pitch and voice quality, command of languages, musicality, preparation and readiness, and the appropriateness and fit of selected works with voice category, among other judging factor points.

Festival Events are Free with donations welcome at the door in order to promote a greater interest in, exposure to, and attendance of opera in Fresno -made possible, in part, through the Community Enrichment Program of the Fresno Arts Council, the Bonner Family Foundation, Exxon Mobile, Bank of the West, Fred Schlotthauer Memorial Education Fund, AZCAL Management, and Pure Sense, among other individual and corporate sponsors of the Annual International Vocal Competition, and the Festival Finale performances!
