Nurture. Create. Perform.
The Vivo Music Studio Young Artists scheme is designed to provide aspiring young singers with the opportunity to experience a professional performing arts environment.
Selected Young Artists take part in a range of professional performances at venues across South Yorkshire, Nottinghamshire, and North East Lincolnshire.
Each performer receives a rehearsal schedule similar to what is used in the professional industry. They attend rehearsals ahead of concerts and have the opportunity to perform alongside fellow young artists and seasoned professionals in a concert setting.
By supporting these performances, you help ensure that each Young Artist continues to gain valuable experience in a professional context and that they are fairly compensated for their time and talent.
Some of our Young Artists will be performing at the Mediterranean Melodies & Bites evening on Saturday 28th June, The Courtyard, Bawtry. Head over to our Events Page for more information.
