Introducing the incoming singers and pianists for the 2025 CLA summer season: CLA France, CLA Berkshires, and CLA Italy!
This year's artist roster features 69 singers and 12 pianists who come from 20 US states and 11 countries, including Belgium, China, France, Singapore, and the United Kingdom. The 2025 CLA Summer Artists come to each program with distinct backgrounds - sharing a common love of music and the desire to engage deeply with operatic and song repertoire.
CLA France immerses participants in the art of French singing while CLA Italy illuminates the traditions and techniques of Italian bel canto. CLA Berkshires brings Mozart to the mountains through a detailed exploration of this illustrious composer's operatic works. In each program, participants will develop their craft and artistry through the prism of language, culture, and history.
