The Ensign Darling Vocal Fellowship Program presents Ensign Darling Vocal Fellowships/ New Voices! A young artist program for curious, open-minded, highly motivated and talented singers with strong points of view and stories to tell! EDNV meets performers “where they are” in their journey and encourages each individual to connect more deeply to the ways they self-identify in order to access their most expressive and authentic voices. The experiences of each artist will be unique and built to help them get the most out of the program.
In this inclusive and supportive environment built for exploration and growth, EDNV will guide a select group of young artists as they learn about their voices. The program includes complimentary:
-
private instruction, including vocal coaching and voice lessons
-
monthly masterclasses
-
collaborative work with other young artists
-
mentorship opportunities with industry professionals​
-
one complimentary ticket to a Broadway performance at The Bushnell and/or in New York City.
-
concert performance at The Bushnell in the Spring of 2026
The Ensign Darling Vocal Fellowship/ New Voices program will strive to provide a platform for innovative, transformative, and unique storytelling for creative vocalists interested in Musical Theatre, Classical/Opera, Pop/Rock, Hip-Hop/Rap, Jazz/R&B, Country, Gospel, Folk, Latin/International Music, Original Works and more!
