Masterclass – Taylor College & Seminary
Grand Finale – Myer Horowitz Theatre

The Rumbold Vocal Prize places audiences inside the artistic process, revealing how singers shape their work through training, feedback, and performance.

The week begins with a live masterclass, where singers receive direct feedback in front of an audience. It is an open, dynamic exchange that makes visible the decisions, adjustments, and insights that shape performance.

The week will culminate in a Grand Finale concert, where singers bring the work of the past days fully to the stage. Entering its fifth year, the Rumbold Vocal Prize continues to reflect the ambition and artistry that define this program.
