The Oratorio Society of NY presents the 45th Lyndon Woodside Oratorio-Solo Competition Finals Concert at Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall. Eight emerging classical singers perform major oratorio arias with piano accompaniment. OSNY Music Director Kent Tritle and a panel of distinguished judges choose winners and award cash prizes. The Solo Competition was inaugurated in 1977 to encourage the art of oratorio singing and to give emerging singers an opportunity to advance their careers. The competition will be judged by Kent Tritle, Ryan Brandau, Sidney Outlaw, Mark Shapiro, and Hanako Yamaguci.
