Carmel Bach Festival has named the winners of the 31st annual Virginia Best Adams Fellowship – Jana Miller (soprano), Janna Critz (mezzo-soprano), Brian Giebler (tenor), and David Rugger (baritone).
Each Adams Fellow receives a cash stipend, airfare, and housing, and will study with Carmel Bach Festival’s Master Class director/festival dramaturge David Gordon, master class music director/keyboardist Michael Beattie, festival associate conductor Andrew Megill, and festival soloists Dominique Labelle, Daniel Taylor, and Peter Harvey. As part of the festival, the Virginia Best Adams Fellows will participate in six public master classes taking place July 13, 16, 20, 23, 27, and 30 at Carmel Presbyterian Church. Admission to each of these master classes is free.
