Congratulations!

Fresno State voice students Isaac Villanueva, tenor, Josh Bear, bass and Guy Barnes, baritone, all won scholarships from the Fresno Musical Club. They were all winners of the Fresno Young Vocalist Award. The finals of this competition took place last Saturday in Fresno.

Fresno State undergraduate voice students regularly win awards for their singing and go on to major conservatories and universities for their Masters degrees. Once there, these students often find that they are better prepared than their new colleagues for the challenges of graduate school. At Fresno State we give our voice students wonderful vocal instruction, a comprehensive diction class, stage time in scenes and opera productions and many opportunities to sing in choirs and travel on tour. Tomorrow (March 11th) in the Concert Hall the Concert Choir sings with the Fresno State Orchestra and soloists in the Te Deum by Dvorak.
