We are very sad to announce that due to the Covid-19 Pandemic, we don't know when PVI will be back in session. Until we are, please consider working with our voice teachers and coaches. Every single one of our singers who auditioned for a program or company got at least one job or summer program offer and they couldn't have done it without these people! Most of these excellent musicians are in the DC area, and most are giving lessons online. We would highly recommend them:

Teachers - Elizabeth Bishop, Jennifer Casey Cabot, Leah Crocetto, Rolando Sanz, and Arianna Zukerman.

Coaches - Dr. Joel Ayau, Mary Gottlieb, Tatiana Loisha, Dr. Patrick O'Donnell, Dr. Joy Schreier, and Dr. Wei-Han Wu.

Our PVI PDP singers had a very successful grad school audition season for the 2020-2021 school year and were accepted to The Juilliard School, Rice University Shepherd School Of Music, Mannes School of Music, New York University, Northwestern University, and Peabody Conservatory. We look forward to following these future Masters of Music wherever their paths lead!

As we head into what would have been the 4th annual PVInvitational, we want to recognize the accomplishments of our amazing students.

We can’t wait to see our singers back on the stage sharing their beautiful voices!

Was listening to the dress rehearsal for our program, Flora & Fauna, and wanted to share one of our favorites! Love this delightful and sassy piece by Jake Heggie! Wishing all the birds finding dates this spring better luck than most of the poor chaps in this song.
