Christine Goerke and Jeremy Zeltzer have launched the project, AuditionAir.

This initiative’s aim is to provide emerging performing artists with equitable access to professional auditions by funding air travel across the contiguous United States.

For the inaugural season, the organization partnered with the Florida Grand Opera Studio Artist Program. For the 2026-27 season, grantees will be selected from a wider applicant pool.

Application for the upcoming season will be available on May 1, 2026.
