SongStudio is a program for young vocalists under the leadership of world-renowned soprano Renée Fleming. Designed to renew and refresh the presentation and experience of the vocal recital, SongStudio brings leading musicians and other performing artists together to mentor emerging vocalists and collaborative pianists, exploring innovative approaches to both classic and current song repertoire, and inviting new audiences to engage with the art form. SongStudio builds on the remarkable legacy of supporting young vocalists and the art of the vocal recital that Marilyn Horne sustained over the past two decades through The Song Continues.
