Emerging Artists

As part of our year round outreach throughout the state, Opera New Jersey offers Young Artist Concerts featuring cutting-edge emerging artists bridging the gap between school and a professional career. All of these concerts are free and open to the public; performance dates may be found on our calendar.

Our partners for these concerts include prominent venues such as the Jane Voorhees Zimmerli Art Museum in New Brunswick and the Grounds For Sculpture in Hamilton. Additionally, OperaNJ Young Artists perform at the Princeton Public Library and outdoors at Palmer Square in Princeton. The YAP singers are often invited to guest perform at house parties, galas, grand openings and executive business events.
