VOIcE 2025 – MASTERCLASSES
Sir Thomas Allen – Voice 2022
LISTEN IN ON GUIDANCE FROM THE MASTERS
Four eminent members of the International Jury of Voice 2025 share their expertise with Montreal students.
The public is invited to attend these inspiring and formative encounters.
The concert hall is also an exciting place of learning and development. Listen to young singers and pianists from leading Montreal institutions as they demonstrate their skills in front of the guest masters. Appreciate their musical interpretation and listen with them to the experts’ advice. This is a rare chance to observe the artist’s process and see how the technical, interpretive, and expressive advice given by the masters is integrated into the music.
The CMIM masterclasses are unique opportunities to learn, hone your listening skills, and gain a better understanding of all of the diverse elements that go into a musical performance.
All who love singing are welcome!
