Announcing the summer Classical Voice Intensive

The Patel Conservatory at the Straz Center announces a new summer intensive designed for exceptional singers who’d like to pursue a professional career.

The new Classical Voice Intensive is a multi-faceted program for serious young singers ages 16 through 25. The program provides instruction, performances, master classes and workshops.

"The Straz Center is home to grand opera in our region," said Gregory Ruffer, chair of the Patel Conservatory music department. "The Classical Voice Intensive solidifies our reputation as the place where future great singers come to find their voice," 


Nationally recognized artist-teachers will guide students through the study of arias, art song, opera and musical theater scenes, diction, and group and private voice lessons.

This is a wonderful opportunity for young singers to train with renowned artists and performers.

The Intensive culminates in a gala public performance at the Straz Center for the Performing Arts.

Registration is now open for this voice intensive. Auditions are required and may be uploaded to You Tube. Housing options are available for students outside of the Tampa Bay area.
