Vocal Competition

Every year, ORMTA showcases some of the most talented advanced vocal students from across Ontario in this prestigious competition. Students of ORMTA members first compete locally at the branch level. A local branch winner then qualifies to compete at their regional zone competition. Winners of each zone competition across Ontario then earn the right to advance to this provincial competition. Students are expected to perform a stylistically balanced programme. Each student receives a written critique from a panel of distinguished adjudicators. Special thanks to many organizations and individuals for their ongoing support of this competition.
