The competition recognizes talented young singer/actors who are dramatically and musically convincing in contrasting modes of theater music by Kurt Weill and other composers.

It is with a great deal of sadness that I share the news that Professor Emeritus Willard Ticknor Daetsch passed away on Tuesday, June 7. Willard was a tremendous friend and supporter of the Ithaca College community, who as a faculty leader helped shape many aspects of the College as we know it today. I am thankful that I had the opportunity over the past three years to get to know Willard and his wife, Dorothy, and to come to count them as personal friends as well. 
Caitlin Mathes, mezzo-soprano of Dayville, Connecticut, won the $15,000 First Prize in the finals of the 2011 Lotte Lenya Competition, held on April 16, 2011, at the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, N.Y.
Over 6,000 people auditioned for one of the 200 worldwide positions in Round 1, which ended in May. As one of the 100 contestants progressing to Round 2, Jessica is one step closer to a chance to sing alongside many of Avon Voices celebrity judges, including Fergie, Natasha Bedingfield, and Valeriya; and record an Anthem written by Diane Warren that will debut live at the Avon Foundation for Women Annual Gala in New York City this Fall.
