WD Studio Singers take Gold at Virginia and Mid-Atlantic NATS
Jack performed in a masterclass with world-renowned baritone, Nathan Gunn, at the NATS Mid-Atlantic Region Conference!
In February, the WD Studio Core Program singers participated in both the virtual and in-person Virginia NATS conferences. Each year, the National Association of Teachers of Singing (NATS) organizes a series of competitions and auditions across the country, providing a platform to highlight the exceptional talent of emerging singers, performers, and composers. We are thrilled to announce that our singers earned numerous awards and honors at this year's events. Their impressive performances are a testament to their dedication and talent, and we are incredibly proud of their accomplishments!
