The weather is getting warmer, the birds and flowers are returning to New York, but to the staff of New York City Opera, nothing harkens spring more than the sound of VOX rehearsals.  

 

Once again our rehearsal rooms are booked solid as singers, composers, coaches, and instrumentalists get ready for our 2009 VOX: Showcasing American Composers on May 1st and 2nd at NYU's Skirball Center.  For more information, click here.
