Mission Statement
What is "Classical Singing and New York in June"? Classical Singing and New York in June (AKA CSNY in June) is a 18-day program providing intensive vocal study and coaching for a small group (maximum 16) of aspiring professional singers and pianists ages 18-35, culminating in a final public recital in a recognized New York venue. Our vision is to enhance musical training with cultural immersion in the vast and inexhaustible resources of New York City. We offer intensive voice lessons, coachings and masterclasses with leading professionals in the field (providing the opportunity to focus on a variety of repertoire of interest and value to the singer), in combination with informative City walking tours, museum visits, ethnic dinners and attendance at theatrical and concert events. Classical Singing and New York in June was established by Jane Olian and Donna Gill in 2008 in response to what we felt was an underuse of New York City for summer vocal programs. There exists a long tradition of summer courses for singers and other musicians, but most of these take place in either country settings, resort locations or in Europe. Our vision was to create an intensive training program for singers and collaborative pianists that would combine rigorous musical and vocal instruction (which musicians expect from summer training experiences) with an immersion in the cultural life of New York City. In the case of CSNY, our goal has been to provide a deeply nurturing environment for a select group of compatible young people that will allow them to thrive and develop to their fullest in the short time allotted. The scope of the program encompasses both singers at a relatively early stage in their training, who need this kind of hands-on, intensive work; it also has proven to be of profound value to the more advanced singer wishing to "jump-start" his or her growth and development with a veritable battery of lessons, coachings and classes!
About This Cause
Singers have either a voice lesson, a vocal coaching, and/or a masterclass each day. Pianists will receive individual lessons, play for some voice lessons and be coached by our faculty in the art of accompanying and coaching. All students will take part in 5-6 masterclasses, guided walking tours and a final performance in a recognized NYC recital venue. Each summer, 15-18 singers attend CSNY, with an additional student pianist who studies with our coaches. 2022 will be our 15th year (and 14th session); as of this writing (September 27, 2021), approx. 250 students have participated in CSNY since its inception in 2008.
