Vocal Arts Performing Academy
The Comic Intermezzo
Soprano Kathleen Van De Graaff and bass-baritone Peter Van De Graaff of The Comic Intermezzo are the artists in residence at the academy. They are veterans of the stage, having performed in operas, oratorios, recitals and concert work together and separately throughout North America, Europe and Asia. They have conducted numerous master classes in colleges and high schools across the country and have directed operas, opera scenes, and musical theater reviews.
Singing is more than just having a beautiful voice. A singer must have the “complete package:” a good voice, solid vocal technique, dynamic stage presence, ability to communicate with the audience verbally and non-verbally, language skills, musicality, knowledge of the theater, and strong sight reading skills.
