Artist Programs

The voices that anchor this tradition and the voices just beginning share the same stage here.

Since 2021, the Project has worked with singers at every stage of their careers. Today that work takes shape in two tracks, the Fellows, established artists who anchor each production, and the Young Artists, the emerging voices of the next generation.

The audition

Each participant will perform an aria and a Puerto Rican piece, both of free selection.

Piano accompaniment will be provided by Ernesto Busigó, the Project's artistic director, so there is no need to bring an accompanist.

If you need a place to start, here are two classic danzas from the repertoire we perform at the Project.
