A hands-on insight into vocal technique and interpretation

This vocal masterclass with acclaimed composer and soprano Prof. Deborah Cheetham Fraillon AO, offers singers a rare opportunity to work closely with one of Australia's most respected musical voices.

Four to five singers will be selected in advance to perform and receive detailed, practical guidance on vocal technique, musical interpretation and artistic communication during the masterclass. Participating singers will be chosen via audition, submitting two contrasting pieces, one of which must be by an Australian composer. Audition details, including upload instructions, are available via the event link.

Observers are warmly encouraged to attend, gaining valuable insight by watching the coaching process and learning from Prof. Cheetham Fraillon's thoughtful, generous approach to developing expressive, confident performers.

The masterclass will be invaluable to singers, teachers and music-lovers alike. A special event not to be missed!!

Prof. Cheetham Fraillon will personally review all submissions.

All applicants will be notified of the outcome by email, and those who have been selected will be asked to confirm their registration within seven days of the email being sent. Any unfilled places will then be offered to another successful applicant.
