In 2008 the Salzburg Festival created the Young Singers Project, a high-class platform to support and nurture young vocalists.

 

Young singers are selected through international auditions, and participants of the scholarship receive the opportunity to work with festival artists. The curriculum does not only include musical education and repertoire expansion, but also staged rehearsals and language coaching. The master classes led by renowned Festival artists and the clear practical connection with the festival make the YSP an educational programme that has become an international benchmark and model.

This China Tour features both human voice and piano accompaniment. The pieces are composed by music masters such as Mozart, Puccini, Donizetti, Strauss, Gounod and Rossini, spanning both the Classical and the Romantic period.
