OnTour Student Sucess

We finally made it! Our exceptional music students and faculty performed their inaugural concert at Carnegie Hall’s Stern Auditorium in 2223.

The experience was extra special as we celebrated the return of live music in New York City by performing in one of the most iconic music halls in North America!

Our student singers performed as part of the National Festival Chorus under the baton of Elizabeth Swanson of University of Colorado –Boulder. The program, "Hope Rising" included the world premiere of "Our Birthright" by Jeffery Nycth.

The concert was a special capstone experience for graduating seniors and vocal students who were selected after a competitive audition process this year. These incredible FIU students, under the direction of Dr. Erynn Millard, Dr. Vindhya Khare and Dr. Karen Veloz, took to the stage that has hosted world-class performers and soloists from all over the globe.

While on tour, our students were motivated to practice and push beyond their limits helping them to further their artistic potential and increase their professionalism. In addition to their performance, they were exposed to a wide variety of music, made lasting friendships with other students throughout the country, and explored New York City’s historic landmarks.
