Federation of the Art Song

Auditions for the FAS Fellowship 2025 were held October 24 and 25, 2024, in Miller Recital Hall of the Manhattan School of Music. After hearing five outstanding duos in the Friday evening finals, the distinguished panel of judges selected our highly effective and gifted Fellows for 2025:

The Federation of the Art Song (FAS) was founded in 2021 by Alta Malberg and Martin Néron, President and Vice President respectively, and co-artistic directors of the organization.

Believing strongly in the value of songs of all genres sung in classical style, FAS helps deserving singers and collaborative pianists to develop their artistic abilities and identities. Our goal is to educate the public on the expanding catalogue of song repertoire from a multitude of sources and communities, thus benefitting audiences and artists alike.

THE COMPONENTS OF FAS ARE:

Fellowship Award

Songs on the Move

Songs from Outside the Box

If Music be the Food of Love*
