Eight NYU Vocal Performance students competed in the National Association of Teachers of Singing (NATS) Eastern Region Student Auditions held at Rutgers University Mason Gross School of Music on March 21-23, 2025. All eight NYU students earned top honors in their divisions, following three days of competition through preliminary, semifinal, and final rounds. In total, more than 400 students represented top universities and conservatories from New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Quebec, and West Virginia.
“We are so proud of the work of our students," said Justin John Moniz, Associate Director of Vocal Performance and Coordinator of Vocal Pedagogy. "Their commitment, passion, and artistry were on full display this weekend. We are thrilled, of course, for these successes, but also immensely grateful for their fine representation of the considerable artistry present across the entire Program in Vocal Performance.”
