I am so excited about the lineup for World Voice Weekend. I am waiting for one letter of agreement to come back (which I sent out yesterday and asked for by Friday, so I’m not worried about it), and this is what it looks like (working titles in some cases). I’ve attached links to each artist until I get their official headshots and bios (which are probably on their websites anyway).

Although I didn’t necessarily intend for this to be the case, this is winding up to be a heavily musical theater/CCM-oriented program. I would’ve liked a little more classical/crossover, since those are my roots, and I did expect a lot of MT, but as it turns out – that’s not where we went. And that’s fine. Perhaps next year. Because I’m hoping that this is going to be a thing, at least for the years when World Voice Day falls on a weekend, which it does in 2021, and will again in 2022 and 2023.
I’m honing the price structure this weekend, and will advise you all of that via the socials before the March 1 Early Bird Registration begins. #StayTuned!
OH, AND I’M GOING TO BE ON A PODCAST TALKING ABOUT THIS! I’ll be recording on March 8 and I’ll let you know when the podcast “drops.” (I think that’s the term.)
