““In CLA’s masterclasses and concerts I have witnessed the excitement singers feel when they have a “breakthrough” moment. Such moments are a reward for hard work and dedication to their craft. There is no greater joy in life than this.” ”
Support one or more artists, make an impact on a performer’s life, and foster a lifelong creative relationship.
