On May 18, 2024, we hosted the 46th annual Pitzer/Weeks Vocal Competition at Tagney Jones Hall in the Seattle Opera House. We are grateful to the Seattle Opera, and especially Sara Litchfield, the Associate Director of Youth Learning Programs which includes Teen Vocal Studio, for partnering with us to provide the wonderful space for this year’s concert. Ten local high school students competed for the chance to win one of three vocal coaching scholarships.
This year’s winner, Lydia Mushkatina, is heading to The Juilliard School to continue her training and will receive $3,000 in vocal coaching.
The two runners up, Trinav Banerjee and Autumn Chociej, will each receive $1,500 toward their continued vocal training.
2024 Pitzer/Weeks Vocal Competition Contestants from left to right: Jay Houseworth-Barba (Bainbridge High School), Namah Daga (Newport High School), Carrie (Jiayu) Huang (The Northwest School), Leila Bauer (South Kitsap High School), Trinav Banerjee (Jackson High School), Woods Jarol (Edmonds Woodway High School), Lydia Mushkatina (Sammamish High School), Haley Montelaro (Newport High School), David Thomas (Edmonds Woodway High School) and Autumn Chociej (Auburn High School)
At the beginning of each year, we send information about the competition to high school choir directors and private coaches in the Greater Seattle area, including the Seattle Opera’s Teen Vocal Studio.
