“The ACVI Summer Training Program was a beautiful, safe space. Informative, welcoming, well organized and thought out. It was great as a professional singer to be reminded and re-opened to techniques and methods, and for newer singers to have so much to take in and practice in a warm and supportive space.”

“The Summer Training Program is a versatile, sensitive collection of teaching and workshops. Great for singers of any walks of life. If you haven’t done it, do it.”
