In collaboration with the USU Voice and Piano Departments, and as part of USU’s Songfest ’25-26, USU Music presents the first ever Art Song Competition. Art song is a classical vocal composition, for a solo singer and piano, that sets a poem to music; creates an intimate fusion of poetry and music for concert performance. Songs will be presented in German, French, Italian, Russian and/or Czech. The winning singer and winning pianist will each receive a scholarship for the ’26-’27 school year.
