Carnegie Hall’s Weill Music Institute has announced that Anthony Roth Costanzo will lead its SongStudio as Artistic Director in 2027.

Professional artists working alongside Roth Costanzo in leading the emerging vocalists and collaborative pianists are Sondra Radvanovsky, Michael Heaston, Bryan Wagorn, Javier Arrebola, and Mary Testa. All participating singers and pianists will receive private lessons and coaching throughout the week. The intimate public master classes will run from Jan. 11 through Jan. 17.

The 2027 participants are soprano Nicole Khouzami and pianist Suryeon Noh, soprano Gimena Sánchez Rivera with pianist Miquel Esquinas, mezzo-soprano Esther Lee with pianist Dohyun Lee, mezzo-soprano Louisa Stuart-Smith and pianist Carlos Bujosa, mezzo-soprano Mala Weissberg, and pianist Hugo Peres, tenor Evan Katsefes with pianist Giancarlo Llerena, baritone Heechang Daniel Byun and pianist Wonjae Yeom, and baritone Yoonsoo Jang and pianist Jou-Yu “Rose” Shieh.

The final recital on Jan. 17, “SongStudio: Golden Orbit,” taking place in Zankel Hall, is curated by Constanzo and directed by choreographer and interdisciplinary artist Miguel Alejandro Castillo. The art song recital is inspired by NASA’s Golden Record. Roth Costanzo said in a press release, “This year’s formidable coterie of performers are united by a dynamism and depth that accompany their musical prowess. I am so excited to dream with them and sharpen the tools in their tool belt so that they can shine even brighter and express their authentic selves with clarity. Their final showcase will no doubt make you feel like the future of song is right before our ears.”
