5/25/2020

The National Association of Teachers of Singing celebrates the art of singing through a series of competitions and programs that are designed to showcase the talented singers and performers who are soon to be rising stars in the profession. Archmere senior Sophia Liston has won third prize in the Eastern Region National Association of Teachers of Singing student auditions. The live auditions were moved to an on-line format in March.

Sophia’s third place win entitles her to move on to the national student auditions, held in conjunction with the organization’s biannual convention, which takes place in June. Sophia will compete for prize money and scholarships with high school women from around the country who have been named finalists in their regional competitions singing classical repertoire.

Founded in 1944, National Association of Teachers of Singing, Inc. (NATS) is the largest professional association of teachers of singing in the world with more than 7,000 members in the United States, Canada, and more than 35 other countries.
