AVM Collegiate Vocalist Program

Starting in the 2024-2025 Season, the Assabet Valley Mastersingers are happy to offer talented and motivated students at local Community and 4-year Colleges an opportunity to prepare and perform classic masterworks in concert with mature vocalists, professional soloists, and instrumentalists as part of the Assabet Valley Mastersingers Collegiate Vocalist Program.

Recreational singing fosters an environment of fun, joy and worth. We believe individuals perform best when working together in a supportive, encouraging and non-competitive environment. AVM embraces all types of people - participation is open to vocalists of various degrees of ability and training, consistent with the caliber of music we perform.

The AVM Collegiate Vocalist Program assigns no dues to participating students but you are responsible for the cost of your own music.
