Description | Each year, Baylor University hosts the Schmidt Vocal Competition for talented High School singers. This one-day competition is held annually in sixteen locations around the country. Students perform in front of a live audience in two rounds and participate in educational master classes with some of today’s most renowned professionals between the preliminary and finalist rounds. Jamie Van Eyck has been tapped as an adjudicator and Master Class Clinician for this year’s competition. Limited to thirty competitors, this annual competition attracts talented vocal students from around the region and offers over $6,500 in cash awards at this event. Winners placing among the top three may also be eligible for a $4,000 matching scholarship (over four years) to study music at Baylor University and will advance to the Schmidt Vocal Competition: High School Nationals, which will be held for the first time in celebration of the competition’s twenty-fifth-anniversary season. |
