Any organization that supports young people and fosters their appreciation of music--especially classical music--is worth supporting. That photo is actually from the John Davies Vocal Camp that was held at the Colburn School last summer: that is John Davies at the piano. While Mr. Davies is an internationally acclaimed Aussie born concert opera singer, he still finds time to share his unique vocal coaching talents with young people in Los Angeles, to also teach them how to sing better and the relevance of classical music to all genres. Support iCadenza!
