Event details

The final round of the 2022 Barbara Rondelli Kansas Statewide Classical Voice Competition will be held on Jan. 29, 2022, at the Bicknell Family Center for the Arts on the PSU campus. Following the preliminary round conducted via audio recording in November 2021, 14 finalists were selected to travel to Pittsburg for the final in-person competition. The competition, which is open to undergraduate singers currently enrolled in Kansas collegiate institutions, is designed to award a significant prize to one winner in each of the categories of soprano, mezzo-soprano, tenor, and baritone/bass. 

The event will begin at 10 a.m. with performances in the mezzo-soprano and baritone/bass categories. Soprano and tenor finalists will compete in the afternoon, starting at 2 p.m. At the conclusion of the performances, the three-judge panel will select winners, and the awards will be presented. Given Covid restrictions this year, there will not be a Winners' Concert or a Competition Reception at the end of the day. All individual performances throughout the day, however, are open to the general public.
