According to host and Ithaca College’s opera director Brian DeMaris, "Ithaca College is honored to be hosting a panel of such distinguished guests from the professional opera field throughout New York state. By hosting this workshop we have the opportunity to build crucial relationships between our students and the field.  Ithaca College and students will benefit from the invaluable professional insight the guest panelists offer, and the many guests and participants visiting campus on October 3rd will get a glimpse of the most notable aspects of our college and the training we offer our students.”
